Swedish researchers have identified genetic variants that increase the risk of atherosclerosis. The aim is for these new ...

Empaveli helps increase your red blood cell count and hemoglobin level. This helps ease the symptoms of anemia. It can also reduce your need for blood transfusions. The way a drug works is known ...

A serum iron test can reveal unusually low or high blood iron levels. Your doctor will most likely order this test after another lab test shows an abnormal result. Having too much iron — or not ...

Genetic testing involves the detection of specific alleles, mutations, genotypes or karyotypes that are associated with heritable traits, diseases or predispositions to disease for the individual ...

Hereditary spherocytosis shares similar features with hemolytic anemia. This is a form of anemia in which red blood cells are destroyed faster than new ones are produced. In the process, some of the ...

The process of new red blood cell formation involves the production of the cell’s membrane, enzymes, proteins, and genetic material. Megaloblastic anemia occurs due to a lack of B9 (folate) or vitamin ...

Genetic variation in a population can result from a variety of things. What are the ways we can estimate trait heritability?

Stopping oral anticoagulation after AF ablation, the core problem with paradoxes like the smoker’s paradox, chronic total occlusion PCI, and an ACC/EHRA preview are discussed by John Mandrola ...
