Red Blood cells can be low for many reasons. They are produced in response to hypoxia (low amounts of oxygen in the blood), when the hormone erythropoeitin is released from the kidneys. Blood cells are made in the white bone marrow. Your RBCs could be low because you are bleeding somewhere (gi bleed, internal bleeding), there is a problem with your erythopoeitin being released, or your spleen is destroying them to quickly. there are many reasons why it could be low these are just a few of the common reasons. there are many types of Anemias classified by the reason they are occurring.

Reed blood cell count can be low because of bleeding, lack of iron intake or an issue with your bone marrow. You should consult your primary care physician about this and ways to correct the problem
