Anemia

Anemia is a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to the tissues. This can make a person feel tired, weak, short of breath, or lightheaded. Common causes include blood loss, iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, chronic diseases, or bone marrow disorders. Diagnosis is usually made with blood tests that measure hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell indices. Treatment depends on the cause and may involve iron or vitamin supplements, medications, or in severe cases, blood transfusions.
