Low iron is most often simply due to low intake in the diet. Other than this, it may be low due to excessive iron loss, which can in turn be caused by blood loss e.g. due to menstruation.
Being "low on blood", i.e. a low total blood volume can have entirely different causes. On the one hand, this can also be due to excessive blood loss, though this would require a large wound. On the other hand however, defects in the kidney's water retention mechanisms can lead to excessive loss of water in the urine and thereby reduction of the blood volume (and consequently increase in blood concentration).

What causes low red blood cellcount when iron level are high?
A low red blood cell count with high iron levels can be caused by several factors, including anemia of chronic disease, where inflammation interferes with red blood cell production despite adequate iron. Additionally, conditions like thalassemia or certain bone marrow disorders can lead to ineffective erythropoiesis, resulting in low red blood cell counts even when iron stores are sufficient or elevated. It's also possible for liver disease to disrupt iron metabolism and erythropoiesis, leading to similar outcomes.
