"Tired blood" is a common term used to describe anemia because of the association between fatigue, often the first sign of anemia, and the idea that it has "something to do with blood." Today, millions of people have diagnosed anemia, and millions more with chronic diseases are at risk for developing anemia. Anemia is not a specific disease; rather, it is an indication that something has either disturbed the maturation of essential red blood cells or interfered with the oxygen carry capacity of red cells. In this two-part series about tired blood, the etiology and pathophysiology of selected forms of anemia are discussed and pharmacotherapy designed to address the condition of anemia is identified. Part 1 addresses anemia related to red blood cell development, and Part 2 explores the physiology of hemoglobin-related anemia and inherited anemia.
“贫血”是一个常用术语，用于描述贫血症，因为疲劳（通常是贫血的首要症状）与“与血液有关”的观念之间存在关联。如今，数以百万计的人被诊断出患有贫血症，还有数百万患有慢性疾病的人有患贫血症的风险。贫血不是一种特定的疾病；相反，它表明有某种因素干扰了必需红细胞的成熟，或者干扰了红细胞的携氧能力。在这个关于贫血的两部分系列中，将讨论特定形式贫血的病因和病理生理学，并确定针对贫血状况的药物治疗方法。第1部分讨论与红细胞发育相关的贫血，第2部分探讨与血红蛋白相关的贫血和遗传性贫血的生理学。
