    54,200 (2015) [7] Iron-deficiency anemia is anemia caused by a lack of iron. [3] Anemia is defined as a decrease in the number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. [3] When onset is slow, symptoms are often vague such as feeling tired, weak, short of breath, or having decreased ability to exercise. [1]

    Plummer–Vinson syndrome (also known as Paterson–Kelly syndrome [1] or Paterson–Brown-Kelly syndrome in the UK [2]) is a rare disease characterized by dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), iron-deficiency anemia, glossitis (inflammation of the tongue), cheilosis (cracking at the corners of the mouth), and esophageal webs (thin membranes in the esophagus that can cause obstruction).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_illness

    Decompression Illness (DCI) comprises two different conditions caused by rapid decompression of the body. These conditions present similar symptoms and require the same initial first aid. Scuba divers are trained to ascend slowly from depth to avoid DCI. Although the incidence is relatively rare, the consequences can be serious and potentially ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentzer_index

    The Mentzer index, described in 1973 by William C. Mentzer, [1] is the MCV divided by the RBC count. It is said to be helpful in differentiating iron deficiency anemia from beta thalassemia trait. [2][3] The index is calculated from the results of a complete blood count. If the quotient of the mean corpuscular volume (MCV, in fL) divided by the ...

  6. Latent iron deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_Iron_Deficiency

    Specialty. Endocrinology. Latent iron deficiency (LID), also called iron-deficient erythropoiesis, [1] is a medical condition in which there is evidence of iron deficiency without anemia (normal hemoglobin level). [2] It is important to assess this condition because individuals with latent iron deficiency may develop iron-deficiency anemia.

  7. Iron overload - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_overload

    Iron overload (also known as haemochromatosis or hemochromatosis) is the abnormal and increased accumulation of total iron in the body, leading to organ damage. [ 1 ] The primary mechanism of organ damage is oxidative stress, as elevated intracellular iron levels increase free radical formation via the Fenton reaction.

  8. List of hematologic conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hematologic_conditions

    6947. Iron-deficiency anemia (or iron deficiency anaemia) is a common anemia that occurs when iron loss (often from intestinal bleeding or menses) occurs, and/or the dietary intake or absorption of iron is insufficient. In such a state, hemoglobin, which contains iron, cannot be formed. [5] Plummer–Vinson syndrome.

  9. Hereditary haemochromatosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_haemochromatosis

    There are five types of hereditary hemochromatosis: type 1, 2 (2A, 2B), 3, 4 [9] and 5, [10] all caused by mutated genes. Hereditary hemochromatosis type 1 is the most frequent, and unique related to the HFE gene. It is most common among those of Northern European ancestry, in particular those of Celtic descent.
