Condition name ICD-10 coding number Diseases Database coding number Medical Subject Headings Iron-deficiency anemia: D50: 6947: Iron-deficiency anemia (or iron deficiency anaemia) is a common anemia that occurs when iron loss (often from intestinal bleeding or menses) occurs, and/or the dietary intake or absorption of iron is insufficient.
54,200 (2015) [ 7] 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]
Blood loss, decreased red blood cell production, increased red blood cell breakdown [ 1] Diagnostic method. Blood hemoglobin measurement [ 1] Frequency. 2.36 billion / 33% (2015) [ 2] Anemia or anaemia ( British English) is a blood disorder in which the blood has a reduced ability to carry oxygen.
Frequency. 1 per 1000 people [8] Pernicious anemia is a disease where not enough red blood cells are produced due to a deficiency of vitamin B 12. [5] Those affected often have a gradual onset. [5] The most common initial symptoms are feeling tired and weak. [4]
Iron deficiency, or sideropenia, is the state in which a body lacks enough iron to supply its needs. Iron is present in all cells in the human body and has several vital functions, such as carrying oxygen to the tissues from the lungs as a key component of the hemoglobin protein, acting as a transport medium for electrons within the cells in the form of cytochromes, and facilitating oxygen ...
The diagnosis of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia can be done via sequence analysis of the entire coding region, types I, [10] II, [11] III [12] and IV ( is a relatively new form of CDA that had been found, just 4 cases have been reported [9]) according to the genetic testing registry.

Hematology. Hematologic diseases are disorders which primarily affect the blood and blood-forming organs. Hematologic diseases include rare genetic disorders, anemia, HIV, sickle cell disease and complications from chemotherapy or transfusions.
Congenital hemolytic anemia (CHA) is a diverse group of rare hereditary conditions marked by decreased life expectancy and premature removal of erythrocytes from blood flow. Defects in erythrocyte membrane proteins and red cell enzyme metabolism, as well as changes at the level of erythrocyte precursors, lead to impaired bone marrow erythropoiesis.
