, Iron-rich foods include:
- red meat
- beans (especially Lima, kidney, lentils, and chickpeas)
- green leafy vegetables (like spinach and broccoli)
- dried fruits
- nuts
- whole-grain breads and cereals
which lab value indicates the patient's iron stores are depleted?

ferritin level
A low ferritin level indicates that the patient's iron stores are depleted.
clinical manifestations of anemia

- severe fatigue
- pallor
- weakness
- dyspnea
- dizziness
Furthermore, the reduction in RBC level will decrease blood volume,
activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system, which
promotes fluid retention and movement of interstitial fluid into the
capillaries. This will not only increase plasma volume, but also dilute the
plasma further. The dilute blood flows faster, which creates a hyperdynamic
state. This "stresses" the cardiac system and can result in tachycardia or
even heart failure.
, a transferrin deficiency will most likely result in _______.
Give this one a try later!
iron-deficiency anemia
Transferrin saturation checks how many places on transferrin that can hold
iron. Normal values are 20% to 50%. In severe cases of iron-deficiency
anemia, this number may fall below 10%.
which anemia is considered a microcytic anemia?
