Moreover, a shortage of do- nor blood has been a major social issue in Korea. Thus far, there has been no general consensus on using allogeneic blood products in cardiac surgery. Conventional CABG patients with CPB are at increased risk of perioperative blood loss requiring a...
The authors hypothesized that ICU patients with functional iron deficiency may be at higher risk for developing anemia, requiring blood transfusion. Their objective was to determine whether low reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) was associated with transfusion requirements in ICU patient...
A 72-year-old female with known chronic lymphocytic lymphoma and an indolent course of disease not requiring chemotherapy is evaluated in the hematology clinic for fatigue. During initial investigations started 2 month ago, she was found to have a hemoglobin level of 7 mg/dL and received two RB...
The described cases had severe anemia requiring monthly blood transfusion [49,50]. The rare interaction of Hb Adana (HBA1:c.179G>A) and αTSaudi has been discovered in a subject referred to our center, a two year old boy with severe anemia, Hb level 7.2 g/dl, negative HbH and ...
The clinical manifestations of Heinz body-related hemolytic anemia can vary, with some individuals exhibiting mild symptoms while others may experience severe anemia requiring medical intervention. Diagnostic approaches to identify Heinz bodies typically involve supravital staining techniques, which can reveal...
A low hemoglobin level is referred to as anemia or low red blood count. A lower-than-normal number of red blood cells is referred to as anemia and hemoglobin levels reflect this number. There are many reasons (causes) for anemia. What causes low hemoglobin levels? Some of the more common...
INTRODUCTION: The risk of requiring allogeneic blood transfusion after total knee arthroplasty has been recently decreased with several methods such as blood donation, blood salvage, and hematinic. For patients with a low baseline hemoglobin level, however, the rate of allogeneic transfusion is still ...

Blood transfusion in late anemia of prematurity: effect on oxygen consumption, heart rate, and weight gain in otherwise healthy infants. Background: In premature infants there is no universally accepted definition of anemia requiring transfusion. We designed the present investigation to stud... T B...
