  2. Iron-deficiency anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-deficiency_anemia

    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]

  3. Macrocytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrocytic_anemia

    Other disorders which cause macrocytosis without DNA replication problems (i.e., non-megaloblastic macrocytic anemias), are disorders associated with increased red cell membrane surface area, such as pathologies of the liver and spleen which produce codocytes or "target cells" which have a central collection of hemoglobin surrounded by a pallor (a thin area) then followed by a thicker ...

  4. Diamond–Blackfan anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond–Blackfan_anemia

    Diamond–Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a congenital erythroid aplasia that usually presents in infancy. [3] DBA causes low red blood cell counts (), without substantially affecting the other blood components (the platelets and the white blood cells), which are usually normal.

  5. Hemoglobin variants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_variants

    The hemoglobin production stops at birth and decreases to adult levels by the age of one or two. The levels can be normal to increased in beta thalassemia. Hemoglobin F frequently increases in individuals with sickle cell anemia and sickle cell-beta thalassemia. Individuals with sickle cell and increase of Hb F have a milder case of the disease.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideroblastic_anemia

    Symptoms of sideroblastic anemia include skin paleness, fatigue, dizziness, and enlarged spleen and liver. Heart disease, liver damage, and kidney failure can result from iron buildup in these organs. [5] Symptoms of sideroblastic anemia usually resemble the common symptoms of anemia.

  8. Megaloblastic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaloblastic_anemia

    Megaloblastic anemia is a type of macrocytic anemia. An anemia is a red blood cell defect that can lead to an undersupply of oxygen. [1] Megaloblastic anemia results from inhibition of DNA synthesis during red blood cell production. [2] When DNA synthesis is impaired, the cell cycle cannot progress from the G2 growth stage to the mitosis (M ...

  9. Heterozygote advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterozygote_advantage

    Sickle-cell anemia (SCA) is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of two incompletely recessive alleles. When a sufferer's red blood cells are exposed to low-oxygen conditions, the cells lose their healthy round shape and become sickle-shaped. This deformation of the cells can cause them to become lodged in capillaries, depriving other ...
