    Anemia is a condition where there is a deficiency of healthy red blood cells in the blood. If left untreated, it can lead to several complications such as:

    1. Severe fatigue: That interferes with daily activities
    2. Complications in pregnancy: Including defective development of the baby and premature delivery
    3. Rapid or irregular heartbeat: In anemia, the heart has to pump more blood to compensate for the lack of oxygen in the blood. This can lead to an enlarged heart or heart failure
    4. Loss of excess blood: This can lead to very severe anemia and can be fatal

    Anaemia results from reduced red blood cells. It is caused due to various reasons like:
    – Reduced production of red blood cells as in iron deficiency anaemia or megaloblastic anaemia
    – Excess blood loss: blood loss can be due to external bleeding like in road traffic accidents or internal bleeding as in hookworm infection, Excess bleeding during periods (menstruation), long-term use of drugs like aspirin or painkillers, etc
    – Destruction of the red blood cells: Hemolytic anaemias
    – Autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.

    Anaemia may also be caused by several factors such as nutrient deficiencies through inadequate diets or inadequate absorption of nutrients, infections (e.g. malaria, parasitic infections, tuberculosis, HIV), inflammation, chronic diseases, gynaecological and obstetric conditions, and inherited red blood cell disorders.

    There are many different types of anaemia, each with its own cause. Anemia is typically divided into three main types, each of which can have different causes:
    1. Microcytic: With microcytic anemia, red blood cells don’t have enough hemoglobin. As a result, the red blood cells are smaller than normal.
    2. Normocytic: In normocytic anemia, there aren’t enough red cells to meet your body’s needs. Normocytic anemia tends to accompany certain chronic diseases.
    3. Macrocytic: Macrocytic anemia happens when the bone marrow makes red blood cells that are larger than normal.

    Some common forms of anaemia include iron deficiency anaemia, vitamin deficiency anaemia (such as B12 or folate deficiency), aplastic anaemia, sickle cell anaemia, and thalassemia.

    Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or the haemoglobin concentration within them is lower than normal. Haemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all other organs in the body. If you have too few or abnormal red blood cells, or not enough haemoglobin, there will be a decreased capacity of the blood to carry oxygen to the body’s tissues. This results in symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
