Anemia

Anemia is a common blood disorder that occurs when there is a decrease in the number of healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the body's tissues.

When there is a decrease in the number of healthy red blood cells, the body tissues do not receive enough oxygen and begin to malfunction.

Anemia can cause a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, shortness of breath, and pale skin. Anemia is treated by replenishing the body's supply of red blood cells through transfusions or other treatments.

There are many different types of anemia, each with its own cause. The most common type of anemia is iron-deficiency anemia, which occurs when the body does not have enough iron to produce healthy red blood cells.

Iron is found in food and can also be supplemented. Other types of anemia include sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and pernicious anemia.

Anemia is a very common blood disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Anemia can be mild or severe, and it can have a variety of causes.
