Wednesday, January 07, 2009
Definition of 'Anemia, Iron-Deficiency'Anemia characterized by decreased or absent iron stores, low serum iron concentration, low transferrin saturation, and low hemoglobin concentration or hematocrit value. The erythrocytes are hypochromic and microcytic and the iron binding capacity is increased. Common names: Anemia, Iron-Deficiency; Anemia, Iron Deficiency; Iron-Deficiency Anemia; Iron Deficiency Anemia; Iron-Deficiency Anemias; Iron Deficiency Anemias; Anemias, Iron-Deficiency; Anemias, Iron Deficiency |
