Chronic Low Volume Blood Loss: Mechanism -Erosive Gastritis, menorrhagia, GI malignancym & others, resulting in iron deficiency anemia -Iron from RBCs wasted via blood loss cannot be recycled. Clinically significant blood loss can be as little as a few mL/day Reduced RBC Production: Mechanism -Nutritional deficit (Vitamin B12, folic acid, iron deficiency), anemia of chronic disease, bone marrow suppression, reduced erythropoietin production (chronic renal failure) -Also associated with ...
