Anaemia is a condition where the blood has a lower than normal amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin. It can be caused by blood loss, iron deficiency, kidney disease, poor nutrition, medications, or alcohol use. Symptoms include paleness, fatigue, dizziness, and increased heart rate. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include oral iron supplements, intravenous iron, or blood transfusions for severe anaemia.
