Most people think of iron deficiency as something that shows up clearly in a blood test. But in recent years, researchers and clinicians have begun paying attention to a less noticeable condition that ...

Standard hemoglobin screening may miss iron deficiency that could affect maternal health and newborn blood outcomes, including HDFN.

For many years, scientists have been puzzled by individuals who live in high-elevation areas throughout the world. Surveys of high-altitude populations, from areas of the Andes to regions of the ...

A recent mouse study suggests that low-oxygen conditions, such as being at high altitudes, could cause red blood cells to ...

A population-based study of over 1.1 million births in Ontario, CA found that both low and high maternal hemoglobin levels early in pregnancy are linked to higher rates of neonatal illness and death ...

1. In this retrospective cohort study, both low and high early-pregnancy hemoglobin levels were linked to higher rates of severe neonatal morbidity and mortality (SNM-M), stillbirth, and preterm birth ...

Abstract: Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin, which the body needs to carry oxygen. Monitoring hemoglobin levels is essential for general health since they may indicate a variety of ...

Maintaining hemoglobin levels above 10 g/dL in patients with MDS is linked to significantly improved survival, doubling median survival compared with moderate anemia. Current clinical guidelines often ...
