Iron deficiency anemia. The normal hematocrit (ratio of packed red blood cells to total blood volume) rules out anemia due to loss of blood cells through hemorrhage or sickling. Below-normal hemoglabin indicates an iron deficiency in this case. No available iron = no hemoglobin produced.

Does hemoglobin values increase in congestive heart failure?
Congestive heart failure causes increased hemoglobin. When the underlying cause is anemia; the body will respond by increasing production of red blood cells (RBCs); withe a responding increase in hematocrit (the percentage of red blood cells in whole blood). Increased RBCs leads to increased hemoglobin levels.
Hematocrit of people living in high altitude?
It is increased. The lower air pressure in general leads to lower levels of oxygen and so the body compensates by making more red blood cells.
Does sleep deprivation leads to anemia?
There is no known direct link between anemia and sleep deprivation.
Why do people with advanced kidney disease commonly become anemic or have reduced RBCs count or levels of hemoglobin?
Part of it is that kidneys produce erythropoetin, which is a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production in normal people. In kidney disease, this process is diminished. Also, it is thought that people with some chronic diseases develop what is called "anemia of chronic disease" and it's not clear how this is played out, but it leads to chronic anemia . Also, people with kidney disease are often fluid over-loaded, and may have a dilutional effect, where the hematocrit and hemoglobin concentration seems lower than it actually is due to so much fluid in the system. So it's likely due to a combination of the above reasons.
Common causes of microcytic hypochromic anemia?
In very rare cases this combined affect is documented in the paper: "Identification of a SLC19A2 nonsense mutation in Persian families with thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia" by Setoodeh A et al 2013.
A deficiency of vitamin b12 leads to which type of anemia?
Megaloblastic (Macrocytic) Anemia. Basically the Red Blood Cells have a larger volume (MCV).

When Defected shape of red blood cells leads to a disease called?
It is sickle cell anemia.
Hypoparathyroidism leads to decreased?

Does a vitamin B-12 deficiency lead to gout?
A deficiency of B-12 leads to anemia, not gout.
Is Myelophthisic anemia the same as leukoerythroblastic anemia?
A myelophthisic anemia is the displacement of the bone marrow into the peripheral circulation by a disease such as metastasis of the bone marrow. This leads to the presence of nucleated RBCs and immature myeloid cells in the peripheral blood. Under microscopy, this is known as "leukoerythroblastic smear."
