Anemia is a condition in which there is a low level of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, leading to a reduced oxygen-carrying capacity. Hypovolemia, on the other hand, refers to a decrease in the volume of blood circulating in the body, which can be caused by conditions such as dehydration, blood loss, or fluid shifts. Anemia is a specific type of blood disorder, while hypovolemia is a broader term referring to decreased blood volume.

What is the difference between iron-deficiency anemia and pernicious anemia?
The main difference is that Iron-Deficiency Anemia is caused by lack of iron, and therefore low haemaglobin levels. Pernicious anamia is caused by a lack of vitimin B12 which aids the production and growth of red blood cells, therefore lowering the haemaglobin level, and both would have a lowered hematocrit level.
Does sleep deprivation leads to anemia?

Etiology of hypovolemia?
Hypolemic shock can cause multi organ failure. Hypovolemia is brought on by extreme internal or external bleeding, and less commonly blood donation.

What is the difference between relative and absolute anemia?
Relative = normal red blood cell count with a disturbance in regulation of plasma volume. ex- preganat women, athletes, post flight astronauts Absolute Anemia= Those types of anemia with an actual decrease in the number of red cells. Note: can be caused by a decrease production of RBCs or an increased destruction of RBCs
