Rehydrate.

Alterations in Myeloid:Erythroid Ratio
The M:E ratio is sensitive to hematologic factors that may impair red blood cell life span, inhibit overall production, or cause dramatic increases in a particular cell line. Each of these conditions reflects bone marrow dynamics through alterations of the M:E ratio. Many observations...

Iron Distribution
Iron-containing compounds in the body are one of two types:
Functional compounds that serve in metabolic (hemoglobin, myoglobin, iron-responsive element-binding protein) or enzymatic (cytochromes, cytochrome oxygenase, catalase, peroxidase) functions
Compounds that serve as transport (transferrin, transferrin receptor) or storage forms...
