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]
- Erythropoiesis [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Erythrocyte [r]: Blood cells that carry hemoglobin [e]
- 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]
Subtopics
Anemias of hemolysis and acute blood loss
- Anemia of acute blood loss [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Hereditary spherocytosis [r]: Chronic congenital disorder of the erythrocytopoietic system characterized by a preponderance of fragile spherical erythrocytes, and haemolytic anaemia. [e]
- Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria [r]: Add brief definition or description
Hypoproliferative anemias
- Anemia of chronic disease [r]: Anemia associated with chronic illness such as chronic infection, immune activation, or malignancy. [e]
- Anemia of renal disease [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Aplastic anemia [r]: Disorder in which the bone marrow greatly decreases or stops production of blood cells. [e]
- Iron deficiency anemia [r]: Anaemia resulting from a deficiency of iron, characterized by hypochromic microcytic erythrocytes and a normoblastic reaction of the bone marrow. [e]
- Myleodysplastic syndrome [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Pure red cell aplasia [r]: Add brief definition or description
Disorders of hemoglobin
- Hemoglobinopathies [r]: A group of inherited disorders characterized by structural alterations within the hemoglobin molecule. [e]
- Sickle cell anemia [r]: A disease characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia, episodic painful crises, and pathologic involvement of many organs. It is the clinical expression of homozygosity for hemoglobin S. National Library of Medicine [e]
- Thalassemia [r]: A group of hereditary hemolytic anemias in which there is decreased synthesis of one or more hemoglobin polypeptide chains (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Hemoglobin C disease [r]: Add brief definition or description
Megaloblastic anemias
- Megaloblast [r]: An abnormally large (i.e., macrocytic) erythroblast; as with macrocytic erythrocytes, they are associated with folic acid or vitamin B12 deficiency or metabolic disorder [e]
- Folic acid [r]: Nutrient required for a normal pregnancy. [e]
- Vitamin B12 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Pernicious anemia [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Malabsorption syndromes [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Bone marrow [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Erythrocyte [r]: Blood cells that carry hemoglobin [e]
- Complete blood count [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Erythrocyte indices [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Erythropoietin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Stem cell [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Human iron metabolism [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Transferrin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Myeloproliferative disease [r]: Add brief definition or description
