Difference between Iron and Iron deficiency

Iron vs. Iron deficiency

Iron is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from ferrum) and atomic number 26. Iron deficiency, or sideropaenia, is the state in which a body has not enough (or not qualitatively enough) iron to supply its eventual needs.

Similarities between Iron and Iron deficiency

Iron and Iron deficiency have 31 things in common (in Unionpedia): Anemia, Bean, Cell (biology), Colorectal cancer, Cytochrome, Dietary Reference Intake, Enzyme, Ferritin, Gastrointestinal tract, Genetic disorder, Heme, Hemoglobin, Hepcidin, Human iron metabolism, Iron supplement, Iron(II) sulfate, Iron-deficiency anemia, Latent iron deficiency, Leaf vegetable, Lentil, Menopause, Molasses, Mussel, Oxalate, Oxygen, Oyster, Poultry, Red blood cell, Red meat, Tofu, ..., Transferrin.

Anemia

Anemia is a decrease in the total amount of red blood cells (RBCs) or hemoglobin in the blood, or a lowered ability of the blood to carry oxygen.

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut, or alimentary canal) is an organ system within humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces.

Genetic disorder

A genetic disorder is a genetic problem caused by one or more abnormalities in the genome.

Heme

Heme or haem is a coordination complex "consisting of an iron ion coordinated to a porphyrin acting as a tetradentate ligand, and to one or two axial ligands." The definition is loose, and many depictions omit the axial ligands.

Hemoglobin

Hemoglobin (American) or haemoglobin (British); abbreviated Hb or Hgb, is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red blood cells of all vertebrates (with the exception of the fish family Channichthyidae) as well as the tissues of some invertebrates.
