Anemia happens when there is a decreased number of circulating red blood cells in the body. It is the most common blood disorder in the general population.

Symptoms

The most common symptom of all types of anemia is a feeling of fatigue and a lack of energy.

Other common symptoms may include:

Paleness of skin

Fast or irregular heartbeat

Shortness of breath

Chest pain

Headache

Light-headedness

Causes

The body needs red blood cells to survive. They carry hemoglobin, a complex protein that contains iron molecules. These molecules carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Some diseases and conditions can result in a low level of red blood cells. There are many types of anemia, and there is no single cause. It can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. Below is a general overview of the common causes of the three main groups of anemia:

1) Anemia caused by blood loss

2) Anemia caused by decreased or faulty red blood cell production

3) Anemia caused by the destruction of red blood cells

Types

There are more than 400 types of Anemia currently known, and these are divided into three main groups according to their cause:

Anemia caused by blood loss

Anemia caused by decreased production or production of faulty red blood cells

Anemia caused by the destruction of red blood cells

Diet

If the anemia is caused by nutritional deficiencies, a change to an iron-rich diet can help alleviate the symptoms. The following foods are high in iron:

Iron-fortified cereals and bread

Dark-green leafy vegetables, for instance, curly kale and watercress

Pulses and beans

Brown rice

White and red meats

Nuts and seeds

Fish

Tofu

Eggs

Dried fruits, including apricots, raisins, and prunes

Risk factors

Anemia can occur in people of all ages and races, both males and females. However, certain factors increase the risk.

These include:

having a diet that is low in vitamins, mineral, and iron

losing blood from surgery or injury

long-term or serious illness, such as AIDs, diabetes, kidney disease, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, heart failure, and liver disease

family history of inherited anemias, such as sickle cell anemia

intestinal disorders-affects absorption of nutrients

Diagnosis

There are different ways to diagnose anemia, but the most common is a blood test known as a complete blood count (CBC).

This measures a number of blood components, including hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, or the ratio of the volume of red blood cells to the total volume of blood.

A CBC can give an indication of the person's overall health and whether they have any conditions, such as leukemia or kidney disease.

If the red blood cell, hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels are all below "normal," then anemia is likely.

However, it does not provide a definitive diagnosis. It is possible to be outside the normal range but still healthy.
