Summary:

Anemia is defined as the decrease in hemoglobin from normal values either by loss of red blood cells or deficit in production or both. Hemoglobin is the major transporter of oxygen. The variation in hemoglobin is therefore a factor in determining the cardiac output. This book begins by discussing the effects anemia has on heart diseases. The book then continues to discuss the influence of iron deficiency anemia and recovery on oxidative/antioxidant status; influence of iron deficiency anemia on bone metabolism; sickle cell anemia; anemia in myelodysplastic syndromes; transfusion in chronic ane
