Article Abstract
Anemia is a common and serious health problem, nearly universally diagnosed in preterm infants, and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is a lifesaving and mainstay therapy; however, it has critical adverse effects. One consequence is necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), an inflammatory bowel necrosis disease in preterm infants. The murine model of phlebotomy-induced anemia and RBC transfusion-associated NEC enables a detailed study of the molecular mechanisms underlying these morbidities and the evaluation of potential new therapeutic strategies. This protocol describes a detailed procedure for obtaining murine pups with phlebotomy-induced anemia and delivering an RBC transfusion that develops NEC.

Anemia and iron deficiency (ID) are common and significant complications in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) that can affect their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and outcomes. Current anemia guidelines equate the post-transplant situation with the anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in non-transplanted persons, not acknowledging relevant differences ranging from pathophysiology to clinical manifestation. Nephrologists caring for these patients tend to pay less attention to post-transplant anemia (PTA) and ID than in non-transplanted persons with CKD.

Background: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is a common intervention for anemia in preterm infants; however, its association with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains debated. While biological mechanisms suggest potential harm, the clinical impact of transfusion frequency on BPD incidence and severity remains unclear.
Objective: To investigate whether RBC transfusion frequency is independently associated with the risk and severity of BPD in preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is uncommon in the pediatric population, particularly when it manifests as severe anemia. AIHA is characterized by a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) and immune-mediated red blood cell (RBC) destruction. AIHA is subclassified on the basis of the thermal characteristics of autoantibody into warm, cold, and mixed.

Objective: Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a common red blood cell membrane disease. It is currently clear that mutations in genes such as ANK1, SPTB, SPTA1, SLC4A1, EPB4.2 can cause the loss of their corresponding encoded proteins.
