Summary Introduction

To review:

The comparison of various causes of anemia.

Introduction:

Anemia refers to the situation where the total number counts of red blood cell (RBCs) or hemoglobin in the blood decreases. Reduction in the number of RBCs leads to the decrease in the blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity that results in its poor supply to the cells of the body. The symptoms of this disorder include shortness of breath, tiredness, fatigue, fainting, and weakness.
