Anemia is a condition defined by a decrease in red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, resulting in paleness and fatigue. This lowers the blood's ability to carry oxygen throughout the body. There are three main types of anemia caused by blood loss, decreased red blood cell production, or increased red blood cell breakdown. Symptoms include weakness, shortness of breath, and pale skin. Anemia is diagnosed through a complete blood count and microscopic examination of a blood smear. Causes include impaired red blood cell production, increased red blood cell destruction, blood loss, or fluid overload. Homeopathic treatments for anemia are individualized but may include remedies like Cinchona for anemia due to blood loss

1. Anemia
ANEMIA IS USUALLY DEFINED AS A DECREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF RED
BLOOD CELLS (RBCS) OR HEMOGLOBIN IN THE BLOOD RESULTING IN
PALLOR AND WEARINESS. IT CAN ALSO BE DEFINED AS A LOWERED
ABILITY OF THE BLOOD TO CARRY OXYGEN.

6. Symptoms

7. Causes
 Impaired Red Blood Cell (RBC) production,
 Increased RBC destruction (hemolytic anemias)
 Blood loss
 Fluid overload (hypervolemia).
 Several of these may interplay to cause anemia eventually.
 Blood loss is most common casue, but it usually does not cause any
lasting symptoms unless a relatively impaired RBC production
develops, in turn most commonly by iron deficiency.

8. Diagnosis
 Anemia is typically diagnosed on a complete blood count.
 Examination of a stained blood smear using a microscope can also
be helpful, and it is sometimes a necessity in regions of the world
where automated analysis is less accessible.
 Four parameters (RBC count, hemoglobin concentration, MCV and
RDW) are measured, allowing others (hematocrit, MCH and MCHC)
to be calculated, and compared to values adjusted for age and sex.
 Some counters estimate hematocrit from direct measurements.

9. WHO's Hemoglobin thresholds used to define anemia
(1 g/dL = 0.6206 mmol/L)
Age or gender group Hb threshold (g/dl) Hb threshold (mmol/l)
Children (0.5–5.0 yrs) 11.0 6.8
Children (5–12 yrs) 11.5 7.1
Teens (12–15 yrs) 12.0 7.4
Women, non-pregnant
(>15yrs)
12.0 7.4
Women, pregnant 11.0 6.8
Men (>15yrs) 13.0 8.1
