ICD-11 code : 3A72;
Preferred Label : Sideroblastic anaemia;
ICD-11 definition : Sideroblastic anemias are a group of disorders in which hemoglobin is insufficiently
synthesized, because of defective use of iron (although plasmatic iron levels may
be normal or elevated). They are said to be sideroblastic because of the presence
of ringed sideroblasts in the blood due to accumulated ferritin in mitochondria. Anemias
may be microcytic hypochrome (in thalassemia and hereditary sideroblastic anemias),
or macrocytic (in idiopathic acquired sideroblastic anemias).;
