The most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency. Iron is needed to form hemoglobin. Iron is mostly stored in the body in the hemoglobin. About 30 percent of iron is also stored as ferritin and hemosiderin in the bone marrow, spleen, and liver. What causes iron-deficiency anemia? Iron-deficiency anemia may be caused by the following: diets low in iron Iron is obtained from foods in our diet, however, only 1 mg of iron is absorbed for every 10 to 20 mg of iron ingested. A person unable to have a balanced iron-rich diet may suffer from some degree of iron-deficiency anemia. body changes An increased iron requirement and increased red blood cell production is required when the body is going through changes such as growth spurts in children and adolescents, or during pregnancy and lactation. gastrointestinal tract abnormalities Malabsorption of iron is common after some forms of gastrointestinal surgeries. Most of the iron taken in by foods is absorbed in the upper small intestine. Any abnormalities in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract could alter iron absorption and result in iron-deficiency anemia.

Site Map Related Resources Within UMM Hematology Pediatric Oncology Translate using Google to Spanish German French Italian Portuguese Blood Diseases Aplastic Anemia What is aplastic anemia? Aplastic anemia occurs when the bone marrow produces too few of all three types of blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. A reduced number of red blood cells causes hemoglobin to drop. A reduced number of white blood cells makes the patient susceptible to infection. And, a reduced number of platelets causes the blood not to clot as easily. What causes aplastic anemia? Aplastic anemia has multiple causes. Some of these causes are idiopathic, meaning they occur sporadically for no known reason. Other causes are secondary, resulting from a previous illness or disorder. Acquired causes, however, may include the following: history of specific infectious diseases such as infectious hepatitis history of taking certain medications, such as antibiotics and anticonvulsants

Because the liquid portion of the blood (plasma) carries so many substances essential to the body's functioning, blood tests can be used to find out what is happening in many parts of the body. Testing blood is easier than obtaining a tissue sample from a specific organ. For example, thyroid function can be evaluated more easily by measuring the level of thyroid hormones in the blood than by directly sampling the thyroid. Likewise, measuring liver enzymes and proteins in the blood (see

Blood Disorders In SLE Robert S. Schwartz, M.D. Professor of Medicine, Hematology-Oncology Division New England Medical Center, Boston, MA Hematologists, specialists in disorders of the blood, are often helpful in the medical management of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Indeed, it is not unusual for the initial signs of lupus to appear in the blood. In some patients with lupus, a blood disorder is the primary symptom of the disease. The major hematological symptoms of SLE are: anemia, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), clotting disturbances, and low white blood cell counts. Each of these problems is discussed further. ANEMIA The most common hematological abnormality in SLE is anemia, a reduction in the number of red blood cells. Anemia is recognized by any of the following tests: the hematocrit, the hemoglobin concentration in blood, or the red blood cell count. About half of the patients with active lupus are anemic. The severity of the anemia is usually proportional to the activity level of a person's lupus. Fatigue, suffered by many patients with active lupus, can be attributed in part, to anemia. Anemia is not a specific condition, but has many causes. In a person with lupus, anemia may be caused by chronic inflammation, prolonged uremia, iron deficiency, or hemolytic anemia.
