[Disordered lymphoid regulation of hematopoiesis in iron-deficiency anemia]
Abstract:
Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) in rats is attended by secondary cellular immunodeficiency. The authors studied the importance of lymphocyte dysfunction in the pathogenesis of hematological disorders in rats with IDA. Transplantation of lymphocytes from intact donors subjected to hypoxia to syngeneic recipients led to stimulation of erythropoiesis in them. The effect of "iron deficiency' cells was less manifest. It was established that the hematological disorders in IDA are lymphocyte-determined. This was also demonstrated in experiments on rats with IDA and changed functional condition of the lymphoid tissue.

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
