Disease: Anemia

    Anemia facts

    • Anemia is a medical condition in which the red blood cell count or hemoglobin is less than normal.
    • For men, anemia is typically defined as hemoglobin level of less than 13.5 gram/100 ml and in women as hemoglobin of less than 12.0 gram/100 ml.
    • Anemia is caused by either a decrease in production of red blood cells or hemoglobin, or an increase in loss or destruction of red blood cells.
    • Some patients with anemia have no symptoms. Others may feel tired, easily fatigued, appear pale, a feeling of heart racing, short of breath, and/or worsening of heart problems.
    • Anemia can be detected by a simple blood test called a complete blood cell count (CBC).
    • The treatment of the anemia varies greatly and very much depends on the particular cause.
