Abstract
In Traditional Persian medicine resources, soo ul qinya is one of the liver diseases that also named as pre-dropsy. The search for articles published suggests that the Soo ul qinya disease is equivalent to the anemia without any explanation. The aim of the present article is to verify this claim. A review study was conducted at 2018 on all 906 books and among credible texts of traditional medicine that have been registered on Noor Islamic software. Also, the term anemia in reference books was investigated. Moreover, "soo ul qinya" and "anemia" keywords were used for strategic searches in PubMed, Scopus and Since Direct, web of sciences, SID and Irandoc. After critical appraisal of books and articles, the required information was collected and these materials were contrasted accurately, they were compiled in the form of an article. Soo ul qinya is a difficulty in liver function and appearing weakness in it as liver could not doing its normal function and not producing good and desirable materials for feeding the body and Anemia refers to a low level of hemoglobin in the blood, which can be caused by very low levels of red blood cells or hemoglobin deficiency in blood cells. Etiology and signs and symptoms of soo ul qinya and anemia are sometimes similar and sometimes different but full compatibility between two diseases not found. Anemia is defined as a hemoglobin deficiency that can be caused by very low levels of red blood cells or hemoglobin deficiency in blood cells. However, soo ul qinya is defined as the inability of the liver to produce blood that deserves supplying foods to the cells of the body. There is a fundamental difference between anemia and soo ul qinya in this comparison because we know that the transfer of food components like proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and micronutrients occurs by the plasma, not by hemoglobin and soo ul qinya cannot be equivalent to anemia.

Traditional Persian medicine (TPM) is one of the oldest sciences that includes valuable and unique concepts that description them can raise the world's knowledge. (1)Reviving this ancient science depends on description the hidden concepts which could be found in traditional medicine’s sources.One of these unique and operational concepts is "soo ul qinya" Which is a clinical manifestation of liver disease, in which the skin is swollen and discolored.(2,3,4)The search for articles published in journals and databases suggests that the word soo ul qinya, which is one of the major diseases in Traditional Persian medicine (TPM), is equivalent to the anemia.(5-7)this disease is misunderstanding today and conflicted with anemia
Anemia definition: In the original sources of new medicine has been described that Anemia refers to a low level of hemoglobin in the blood, which can be caused by very low levels of red blood cells or hemoglobin deficiency in blood cells.(11) There is a consensus in new scientific articles that anemia diagnostic criteria are based on one's hemoglobin concentration, which is affected by the age, place of residence, and gender.(12-16)
Comparison of anemia definition in physiological resources and traditional medicine sources: According to the definition in Guyton & Hall's Textbook of Medical Physiology, anemia is defined as a hemoglobin deficiency that can be caused by very low levels of red blood cells or hemoglobin deficiency in blood cells

One of these unique and operational concepts is "soo ul qinya" Which is a clinical manifestation of liver disease, in which the skin is swollen and discolored.(2,3,4). The search for articles published in journals and databases suggests that the word soo ul qinya, which is one of the major diseases in Traditional Persian medicine (TPM), is equivalent to the anemia.(5-7). This disease is misunderstanding today and conflicted with anemia. Soo ul qinya is considered as an equivalent to anemia without any explanation from the beginning.(5-7) where does such equation originate from and when did it begin? Why?
