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]

Anemia of acute blood loss [r]: Add brief definition or description
Hereditary spherocytosis [r]: Chronic congenital disorder of the erythrocytopoietic system characterized by a preponderance of fragile spherical erythrocytes, and haemolytic anaemia. ^[e]
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria [r]: Add brief definition or description

Anemia of chronic disease [r]: Anemia associated with chronic illness such as chronic infection, immune activation, or malignancy. ^[e]
Anemia of renal disease [r]: Add brief definition or description
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]
Myleodysplastic syndrome [r]: Add brief definition or description
Pure red cell aplasia [r]: Add brief definition or description
