Support Group Description Fanconi anemia is an inherited condition characterized by reduced production of all types of blood cells in the body. It is called a “chromosome breakage” condition. This means that people with Fanconi anemia have an unusually high number of breaks along their chromosomes. Patients with Fanconi's anemia rarely live beyond their teens or early twenties. Symptoms Fanconi anemia usually reveals itself when children are between the ages of 3-12 years but in rare cases symptoms do not appear until adulthood. Adults with Fanconi anemia may present with atypical cancers for their age and risk factors. Some of the symptoms that are present in all age groups are extreme fatigue, and frequent infections, nosebleeds and bruising.

Patient Information Resource: Benign Hematologic (Blood) Disorders A collaborative project of the Arizona Telemedicine Program , the Arizona Health Sciences Library and the Arizona Cancer Center See: Anemia A. What Is Anemia? RBCs are produced in the bone marrow and circulate in the blood until they become too old and are removed by the spleen. Anemia can result from excessive RBC loss due to bleeding or insufficient RBC production by the bone marrow. If the cells are excessively destroyed in the blood or spleen, hemolytic anemia is present. B. Causes Anemia is a symptom of many underlying diseases. The most common are iron deficiency , acute blood loss, and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis Hypoproliferative anemia. Hypoproliferative anemia can be subdivided into three classes based upon the size of the RBCs. The cells may be larger than normal (macrocytic), normal (normocytic), or smaller than normal (microcytic). Macrocytic anemia. Macrocytic anemia can be due to several causes. The first is a deficiency in vitamin B or folate, both important ingredients in RBC production. Please see

Iron is a mineral that helps build red blood cells. Most importantly, iron helps your blood cells carry the oxygen that is needed for energy. Getting the right amount of iron can improve your performance in sports and in school. Iron is an important nutrient for teens, especially for those who have started menstruating. Vegetarians also need to pay extra attention to make sure they get enough iron. What is anemia? Anemia is a condition that occurs when you don't have enough healthy red blood cells. This is a problem, because without the right amount of healthy red blood cells, enough oxygen doesn't get into your body. This causes people with anemia to look pale, and often feel weak and tired. The most common causes are not getting enough iron or losing too much iron from heavy menstrual periods. Your health care provider may recommend a multivitamin with iron if it seems like you are not getting enough iron from foods. If you are already anemic, your health care provider will probably suggest an iron supplement. How much iron do I need?
