Introduction Congenital hypotransferrinemia is a very rare inherited and life-threatening disorder (MIM#209300) characterized by systemic iron overload and anemia. The deficiency of serum transferrin leads to inadequate iron supply to erythroid bone marrow, resulting in microcytic hypochromic anemia. ...
Hypochromic microcytic anemia (GMA) is a disease that is characterized by impaired hemoglobin synthesis due to iron deficiency. The disease is caused by a lack of iron in the body, accompanied by a violation of the function of the blood-forming organs, a decrease in the formation of red bloo...

The most common nonphysiologic anemia encountered in pregnancy is iron deficiency.Iron deficiency anemiais suspected when the RBC indices are low and there are microcytic, hypochromic RBCs on the peripheral blood smear. This anemia is confirmed by a low serum iron concentration, high total iron bind...
Tests for Iron Deficiency Understanding the type and cause of low iron stores is the first step toward correcting the problem. Blood may be examined under the microscope to assess red blood cell size and color. Cells that are small (microcytic) and pale (hypochromic), as well as low levels...

Five dogs, receiving a basal diet consisting of whole maize 400, cowpeas 50, purified casein 60, sucrose 32, cottonseed oil 30, cod liver oil 15, sodium chloride 10 and calcium carbonate 3, developed typical, acute blaektongue symptoms in 13, 55, 55, 83 and 131 days, respectively. One...
Moreover, he had been treated with intermitted small doses of cortisone because of a dermatological disease for almost 22 years. His family history was unremarkable. A complete blood count revealed hypochromic microcytic anemia. Serum chemistries revealed hyperuricemia (uric acid 11.6 mg/dl), ...
It can thus be speculated that excessive hepcidin leads to an increase in iron storage and diminishes the amount of serum iron available for Hb synthesis and erythrocyte production, which leads in turn to hypochromic microcytic anemia in MCD. Our results are consistent with those of previously ...
β-Thalassemia is one of the most common inherited anemias, with no effective cure for most patients. The pathophysiology reflects an imbalance between α- and β-globin chains with an excess of free α-globin chains causing ineffective erythropoiesis an
