The 34 pages that link to Iron deficiency anemia, each with the reason it gives.

• Blood transfusionRelated: Iron treatment addresses the underlying deficiency rather than immediately supplying donor red cells.

• Celiac diseaseRelated: Small-intestinal damage can impair iron absorption and make anemia a presenting sign.

• Gastrointestinal bleedingRelated: Chronic occult bleeding can deplete iron and produce this anemia.

• Crohn's diseaseRelated: Chronic intestinal blood loss and poor iron absorption can contribute to anemia in Crohn's disease.

• Helicobacter pyloriRelated: H. pylori infection can contribute to iron deficiency, including when no ulcer is evident.

• MenstruationRelated: Persistently heavy menstrual bleeding can contribute to iron loss and anemia.

• ReticulocyteRelated: Iron deficiency limits effective red-cell production and can blunt the reticulocyte response.

• Hemoglobin A1cRelated: It can raise A1c relative to actual glucose exposure.

• MalabsorptionRelated: Impaired iron absorption can contribute to iron deficiency, especially with proximal intestinal disease.

• Soil-transmitted helminthiasisRelated: Blood-feeding hookworms can cause chronic intestinal blood loss and iron depletion.

• Uterine fibroidRelated: Heavy menstrual bleeding from fibroids can gradually deplete iron stores.

• Glycated hemoglobinRelated: It can raise measured values, complicating interpretation of glucose control.

• Heavy menstrual bleedingRelated: Repeated blood loss can deplete iron and cause fatigue, weakness, or breathlessness.

• Hookworm infectionRelated: Chronic blood loss from intestinal worms can deplete iron and cause anemia.

• TrichophagiaRelated: Chronic digestive injury or poor intake associated with a hair mass can contribute to anemia.

• Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasiaRelated: Repeated blood loss can deplete iron and produce chronic anemia.

• AncylostomaRelated: Chronic blood loss from intestinal Ancylostoma can deplete iron and cause anemia.

• LiverRelated: Liver is often promoted as an iron-rich food, though diet alone does not treat every cause.

• Vaginal bleedingRelated: Ongoing blood loss can deplete iron and produce fatigue or breathlessness.
