Anemia
It is defined by abnormally low hemoglobin concentration or decreased red blood cells. Several classification systems exist.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
hemoglobin synthesis, because of defective use of iron (although plasmatic iron levels may be normal or elevated) and the presence of ringed sideroblasts in the bone marrow[orpha.net]
This can either be caused by a decrease in hemoglobin in blood cells, or red blood cells altogether.[bindingofisaacrebirth.gamepedia.com]
Iron Deficiency Anemia
Although the risk of GI cancer (GIC) increases as hemoglobin decreases, guidelines do not usually recommend hemoglobin thresholds for IDA investigation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
decreases and the red cells become small (microcytic with reduced hemoglobin concentration (hypo chromic) Microcytic anemia Iron deficiency Retic count decreased RDW is high[meddean.luc.edu]
, with a corresponding decrease in total iron binding capacity.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Third Trimester Pregnancy
Abstract We determined unconjugated and total estriol concentrations in serum during the third trimester in 34 normal gestations. Data were obtained weekly for 13 women for as long as nine weeks; 21 others were studied daily for up to 15 days. No correlation between birth weight and either estriol fraction was[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Chronic Kidney Insufficiency
Over the past 6 months, she has noticed a decrease in her energy level.[mdedge.com]
On her routine blood work, you see that her hemoglobin has been slowly declining over the past year.[mdedge.com]
Toxoplasmosis
Abstract Intra-cranial toxoplasmosis is a rare entity occurring mostly in immunosuppressed individuals. It is extremely rare in an immune competent patient. Toxoplasmosis is the third leading cause of food borne illness. Depending upon the site, degree of inflammation and local damage, toxoplasmosis encephalitis and[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage
On day seven, the hemoglobin decreased to 6.4 mg/dL. Despite aggressive resuscitative efforts and supportive care, he died.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Massive gastrointestinal bleeding will result in hemodynamic instability and decreasing hemoglobin levels, which need to be treated with transfusions.[emedicine.com]
Day six of hospitalization, he began having maroon stools, his hemoglobin decreased to 8.1 g/dL and his platelets to 81 1000/mcL.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage
Rebleeding was defined as a new episode of objective evidence of UGIB, after the initial bleeding had stopped, with a decreased hemoglobin concentration of at least 2 g/dL[degruyter.com]
First, the most remarkable finding was that restrictive red blood cell transfusion could significantly decrease the incidence of 6‐week death in the overall analysis (5% [[intechopen.com]
If the INR is greater than 1.5 to 1.8 correction with fresh frozen plasma, prothrombin complex may decrease mortality.[en.wikipedia.org]
Hip Fracture
She was noted preoperatively to have an isolated decrease in hemoglobin of 4.7 g/dL in the 2.5 days before surgery.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Liver Cirrhosis
BACKGROUND: The liver is involved in the metabolism of vitamin D. The prevalence of osteopenia in alcoholic liver disease (ALD) patients is 34-48%, and the prevalence of osteoporosis is 11-36%. Advanced liver disease is considered a risk factor for the development of osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
