Path: RBC, Bleeding Disorders Flashcards
Low ferritin/High TIBC/Low Hepcidin; Low serum Fe/Low % saturation; High RDW/High FEP; Low Hct/Low Hb
Iron-Deficiency Anemia (IDA)
Associated Illness with IDA
Plummer-Vinson Syndrom (Anemia, Esophageal Webs, Dysphagia)
Increased IL-6 APP –> Increased Hepcidin –> decreased Ferroportin and EPO
Anemia of Chronic Disease
High ferritin/low TIBC; low serum Fe/Low % saturation; High FEP; low EPO
Anemia of Chronic Dz
