Abstract
Anemia is a condition that arises when the body lacks enough hemoglobin (Hb) or red blood cells (RBC) to meet the needs of its physiological functions. Even in the presence of normal complete blood count (CBC) values, hypoferritinemia without anemia might present with subtle clinical signs such as overall weakness, easy fatigability, melancholy state and hair loss. The goal of this study was to demonstrate the importance of hypoferritinemia in the absence of anemia and the need to identify it quickly in order to prevent patients who have a prolonged history of a non‐specific generalized sense of weakness from going undiagnosed. The present probe was not launched until its creators received clearance from the ethics committee of the institution. In order to identify hypoferritinemia in the absence of anemia problems the mean corpuscular hemoglobin, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit and serum ferritin levels were assessed. A sample of 1170 females with hypoferritinemia were evaluated and the findings indicated that 312 women had hypoferritinemia while having normal levels of red blood cells, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin. There were a total of 463 male patients who were investigated and of those a diagnosis of hypoferritinemia without anemia was made for 438 of them. Twenty‐one of the 438 patients with hypoferritinemia who did not have anemia were underweight, 369 belonged to the normal weight category, 26 patients belonged to the overweight category and 22 patients belonged to the obese category. 1.6‐1, with women in the majority. 1.6‐1, with women in the majority. Hypoferritinemia without anemia is a concealed hematological ailment that needs a new term to differentiate it from IDA because even though both patients have low serum ferritin, they are two separate illnesses. This is despite the fact that both cases have hypoferritinemia without anemia. Hypoferritinemia without anemia is not an implied diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia since it can happen in people who do not develop anemia, including patients with polycythemia who are undergoing treatment that involves repeated vein resection. Anemia, red blood cells, hemoglobin, complete blood count, hypoferritinemia.
