Parent topics
- Blood [r]: The body fluid that circulates in the vascular system (i.e., blood vessels). Whole blood includes plasma and blood cells. [e]
- Erythrocyte [r]: Blood cells that carry hemoglobin [e]
Subtopics
- Aplastic anemia [r]: Disorder in which the bone marrow greatly decreases or stops production of blood cells. [e]
- Hereditary spherocytosis [r]: Chronic congenital disorder of the erythrocytopoietic system characterized by a preponderance of fragile spherical erythrocytes, and haemolytic anaemia. [e]
- Hemolytic anemia [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Pernicious anemia [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Reticulocyte [r]: An immature erythrocyte (i.e., red blood cell), of which small numbers may be present in circulating blood; elevated percentages, or a lack of them when other factors are abnormal, suggest a disorder of erythropoiesis. [e]
- Bone marrow [r]: The soft tissue, inside the hollow cavities of bones, which produces blood cells [e]
- Erythrocyte [r]: Blood cells that carry hemoglobin [e]
- Erythrocyte indices [r]: A set of three clinically useful parameters calculated from measurements of erythrocytes, usually reported with a complete blood count [e]
- Erythropoietin [r]: A protein hormone produced by the kidneys in response to hypoxia; it is essential for normal development and maturation of red blood cells (RBC). [e]
- Mean corpuscular volume [r]: The total volume enclosed by the average circulating erythrocyte (i.e., red blood cell) [e]
- Mean corpuscular hemoglobin [r]: Weight of hemoglobin per erythrocyte, measured in picograms [e]
- Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration [r]: The amount of hemoglobin relative to the size of the erythrocyte, reported in grams per deciliter [e]
- Stem cell [r]: Describes cells that have the potential to differentiate to new cell types; usually encompasses totipotent, pluripotent and multipotent cells. [e]
