MeSH Anemia (pronounced /əˈniːmiə/ also spelled anaemia and anæmia ; from Ancient Greek anaimia , meaning lack of blood ) is a decrease in number of red blood cells (RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. However, it can include decreased oxygen-binding ability of each hemoglobin molecule due to deformity or lack in numerical development as in some other types of hemoglobin deficiency Because hemoglobin (found inside RBCs) normally carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues , anemia leads to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in organs. Because all human cells depend on oxygen for survival, varying degrees of anemia can have a wide range of clinical consequences.

American Society of Hematology Join Store Job Bank ... Blood Disorders Anemia Anemia is the most common blood disorder, and according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, it affects more than 3 million Americans. The Role of Red Blood Cells in Anemia Red blood cells carry hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein that attaches to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues throughout the body. Anemia occurs when you do not have enough red blood cells or when your red blood cells do not function properly. It is diagnosed when a blood test shows a hemoglobin value of less than 13.5 gm/dl in a man or less than 12.0 gm/dl in a woman. Normal values for children vary with age. When you have anemia, your body lacks oxygen, so you may experience one or more of the following symptoms: Weakness Shortness of breath Dizziness Fast or irregular heartbeat Pounding or “whooshing” in your ears Headache Cold hands or feet Pale or yellow skin Chest pain Am I at Risk? Many people are at risk for anemia because of poor diet, intestinal disorders, chronic diseases, infections, and other conditions. Women who are menstruating or pregnant and people with chronic medical conditions are most at risk for this disease. The risk of anemia increases as people grow older. People who engage in vigorous athletic activities, such as jogging or basketball, may develop anemia as a result of red blood cells breaking down in the bloodstream. If you have any of the following chronic conditions, you might be at greater risk for developing anemia:

Because a low red blood cell count decreases oxygen delivery to every tissue in the body, anemia may cause a variety of signs and symptoms. It can also make almost any other underlying medical condition worse. If anemia is mild, it may not cause any symptoms. If anemia is slowly ongoing (chronic), the body may adapt and compensate for the change; in this case there may not be any symptoms until the anemia becomes more severe. Symptoms of anemia may include the following: Fatigue decreased energy weakness shortness of breath lightheadedness palpitations (feeling of the heart racing or beating irregularly) looking pale Read more about mild and severe anemia symptoms Anemia Overview Anemia describes the condition in which the number of red blood cells in the blood is low. For this reason, doctors sometimes describe someone with anemia as having a low blood count. A person who has anemia is called anemic.

Resources document.getElementById(res).className = "curr"; Description An in-depth report on the types, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of anemia. Alternative Names Iron Deficiency; Pernicious Anemia Treatment Oral iron supplements are the most effective agents for restoring iron levels for people who are iron deficient, but they should be used only when dietary measures have failed. It should be noted that they will not correct anemias that are not due to iron deficiency. One study reported that physicians prescribed iron pills for 64% of patients with anemia without performing tests to confirm whether iron deficiency was actually the cause. The study suggested that iron replacement was appropriate in less than half of these patients. Iron replacement therapy can cause gastrointestinal problems, sometimes severe ones. Excess iron may also contribute to heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Experts generally advice against iron supplements in anyone with a healthy diet and no indications of iron deficiency anemia. Of interest, however, was a 2003 study suggesting that supplements helped reduce fatigue in women with low iron stores but no signs of anemia.

20. Causes Of Anemia, Anemia Types The three main causes of anemia are blood loss, lack of red blood cell production, and high rates of red blood cell destruction. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/anemia/anemia_causes.html

DCI Home Blood Diseases Anemia : Causes What Is ... Other Names Causes Who Is At Risk ... Links What Causes Anemia? The three main causes of anemia are: Blood loss Lack of red blood cell production High rates of red blood cell destruction Some people have anemia due to more than one of these factors. Blood Loss Blood loss is the most common cause of anemia, especially iron-deficiency anemia . Blood loss can be short term or persist over time. Heavy menstrual periods or bleeding in the digestive or urinary tract can cause blood loss. Surgery, trauma, or cancer also can cause blood loss. If a lot of blood is lost, the body may lose enough red blood cells to cause anemia. Lack of Red Blood Cell Production Both acquired and inherited conditions and factors can prevent your body from making enough red blood cells. "Acquired" means you aren't born with the condition, but you develop it. "Inherited" means your parents passed the gene for the condition on to you. Examples of acquired conditions and factors that can prevent your body from making enough red blood cells include diet, hormones, some chronic (ongoing) diseases, and pregnancy.
