Parent topics
- Blood [r]: The body fluid that circulates in the vascular system (i.e., blood vessels). Whole blood includes plasma and blood cells. [e]
- Erythropoiesis [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Erythrocyte [r]: Blood cells that carry hemoglobin [e]
- Reticulocyte [r]: An immature erythrocyte (i.e., red blood cell), of which small numbers may be present in circulating blood; elevated percentages, or a lack of them when other factors are abnormal, suggest a disorder of erythropoiesis. [e]

Hypoproliferative anemias
- Anemia of chronic disease [r]: Anemia associated with chronic illness such as chronic infection, immune activation, or malignancy. [e]

- Aplastic anemia [r]: Disorder in which the bone marrow greatly decreases or stops production of blood cells. [e]
- Iron deficiency anemia [r]: Anaemia resulting from a deficiency of iron, characterized by hypochromic microcytic erythrocytes and a normoblastic reaction of the bone marrow. [e]

Disorders of hemoglobin
- Hemoglobinopathies [r]: A group of inherited disorders characterized by structural alterations within the hemoglobin molecule. [e]

Megaloblastic anemias
- Megaloblast [r]: An abnormally large (i.e., macrocytic) erythroblast; as with macrocytic erythrocytes, they are associated with folic acid or vitamin B12 deficiency or metabolic disorder [e]
