Anemia is a condition in which the blood does not contain enough healthy red blood cells

to carry the adequate amount of oxygen to the tissues of the body,

leaving you feeling tired and weak

And the results of the tests are as follows:

Males have values less than 13 g / dL for hemoglobin concentration and values less than 41 for the percentage of hematocrit.

Non-pregnant females have values less than 11 g / dL for hemoglobin concentration and values less than 36 for hematocrit percentage.

Anemia has several types, which are:

1-Iron deficiency anemia

The bone marrow needs iron to produce hemoglobin

And without enough iron, the body cannot produce enough hemoglobin that is needed

2-Vitamin deficiency anemia

In addition to iron, the body needs folate and vitamin B-12 to produce adequate amounts of healthy red blood cells.

A lack of these and other essential nutrients in the diet may reduce red blood cell production.

3-Anemia resulting from chronic diseases

Certain chronic diseases, such as cancer,

human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS),

rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, and other chronic inflammatory diseases,

can interfere with the production of red blood cells, leading to anemia.

Also, kidney failure can cause anemia.

4-Aplastic anemia

This very rare and life-threatening type of anemia results from a reduced ability of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells.

5-Anemia associated with bone marrow disease

A number of diseases may cause anemia through their effect on blood production in the bone marrow.

6-Hemolytic anemia

This type of anemia occurs when red blood cells are destroyed more quickly than the bone marrow can replace them. You may inherit hemolytic anemia

7- Sickle cell anemia

This inherited and sometimes dangerous type of anemia is caused by a defect in the shape of hemoglobin that causes red blood cells to take an abnormal crescent (sickle) shape. These irregularly shaped red blood cells die prematurely, leading to a chronic shortage of red blood cells.

8-Other types of anemia

Several other rare forms of anemia exist, such as thalassemia and anemia caused by a hemoglobin defect.

And the symptoms of anemia:

Exhaustion

Weakness

Paleness or yellowing of the skin

Arrhythmia

shortness of breath

dizziness

Chest pain

Cold hands and feet

Headache
