Anemia is a general term for most common blood disorder in the world Anemia is a symptoms of a wide variety of mild to serious diseases disorder and conditions Anemia is defined as A reduction below normal in the volume of . Mike Clark, M.D.. Anemia. is a decrease in the normal number of red blood cells (RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. However, it can include decreased oxygen-binding ability of each hemoglobin molecule due to deformity or lack in numerical development as in some other types of hemoglobin deficiency..

In practice, anemia most commonly is defined by reductions in one or both of the following:.

True or absolute anemia is defined as a decrease in erythrocyte mass within the body. HCT, hemoglobin, and RBC count values are usually below their reference intervals.. Low erythrocyte parameters may also be present in blood when the total-body erythrocyte mass is normal (relative anemia). . IN BRIEF: its underlying cause. Most anemias are treatable, so an accurate diagnosis is important. Medical and Family Histories Your doctor will want to know about your signs and symptoms and how Anemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or their oxygen-carrying capacity is insufficient to meet physiologic needs, which vary by age, sex, altitude, smoking, and pregnancy status. 19/02/2015.
