Hematology / Hematology-Oncology

Iron deficiency is a public health problem; it is the leading cause of anemia worldwide and the most prevalent nutritional deficiency. 

The diagnostic approach in hematological oncology (the study of hematologic neoplasms) should be based on the World Health Organization’s (WHO 2008, revised in 2016) classification of tumors of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues, based on morphological, immunophenotypic, genetic, and clinical data.

Complete blood count results and morphological examination of peripheral blood play a crucial role in the diagnosis of many hematologic diseases.

Morphological examination of bone marrow is essential for diagnosing diseases that originate in or involve the bone marrow.

Driven by the heart, blood carries substances essential to life to every cell in the body.

The production of red blood cells (RBCs) in the bone marrow depends on the presence in the body of essential substances such as iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid.

In addition to iron, a deficiency in vitamin B12 (B12) is one of the causes of anemia.

I'm sure you've heard of someone who can't eat fava beans.

We have already seen that hemolytic anemias result from the destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) due to external causes or internal abnormalities.
