Published	01/10/2024	What is the pathophysiology of Anemia of Chronic Disease?
Published	01/10/2024	{{c1::Transferrin}} is a glycoprotein with two iron binding domains that {{c2::transports iron}} and is synthesized by {{c2::the liver}}
Published	01/10/2024	{{c1::Transferrin}} synthesis is {{c3::inversely}} proportional to {{c2::body iron stores }}
Published	01/10/2024	{{c1::Ferritin}} is an intracellular {{c2::iron storage protein}} that is present in the serum as well.
Published	01/10/2024	{{c2::Ferritin}} is an {{c1::acute phase reactant}} and marker of {{c1::inflammation}}
Published	01/10/2024	{{c1::Poikilocytosis}} generally refers to an {{c2::increase in abnormal-shaped}} red blood cells
Published	01/10/2024	{{c2::Anisocytosis}} describes {{c1::red blood cells that are of different sizes}}.
Published	01/10/2024	The gold standard test to confirm {{c1::iron deficiency anemia}} is a {{c2::bone marrow biopsy}} stained with {{c3::Prussian blue (Perl’s stain)}}
Published	01/10/2024	{{c1::Serum ferritin}} is the best non-invasive test to rule out {{c2::iron deficiency anemia}}
Published	01/10/2024	{{c1::Recycling}} is the major source of iron available for erythropoiesis
Published	01/10/2024	{{c1::Heme oxygenase}} releases iron from heme and begins the {{c2::heme catabolic process}}
Published	01/10/2024	What happens to iron recovered from heme?
Published	01/10/2024	What does the big picture of iron metabolism and homeostasis look like?
Published	01/10/2024	What are the serum lab values for Anemia of Chronic Disease?
Published	01/10/2024	What lab results are expected of iron deficiency anemia?
Published	01/10/2024	The most common extra-intestinal symptom of {{c2::colon cancer}} is {{c1::anemia}}
Published	01/10/2024	What are common cause of iron deficiency anemia?
Published	01/10/2024	What is present in a blood smear of iron deficiency anemia?
Published	01/10/2024	What is present in a blood smear of anemia of chronic disease?
