French term

taux d'hémoglobine

French to English Medical Medical (general) Operation report - osteos
In fact, the phrase I need to know how to translate (acurately) is 'une anemie avec baisse du taux d'hemoglobine'. I've been asking myself if anemia doesn't always have a lowered rate of haemoglobin. Also, would you translate this as 'iron deficiency anemia', or should it, specifically, be 'anemia with a lowered haemoglobin rate'?
This is the full sentence (in the context of treating renovascular hypertension with ACE inhibitors).
'Une anemie avec baisse du taux d'hemoglobine a ete mise en evidence chez des patient tranplantes renaux ou hemodialyses, baisse d'autant plus importante que les valeurs de depart sont elevees.'

Thank you both for your helpful comments.
Gabrielle Leyden Jun 24, 2010:
baisse From the sentence, it is clear that the hemoglobin levels weren't simply low, but that they fell below the levels measured before the transplants/dialysis: "with drops in the Hgb levels that were all the greater if the initial (hemoglobin) levels were high"
SJLD Jun 24, 2010:
to answer your question... In anaemia, haemoglobin is always low. I presume that here they are making the "implicit" point that the red blood cell count is normal and only the Hb is low. There is nothing in the text that suggests iron deficiency anaemia (microcytic anaemia). The diagnosis requires the presence of low iron levels in the blood.
