There are two principal causes of anaemia. It can result from reduced or low formation of red
blood cells either due to defects in the bone marrow or an inadequate intake of iron vitamins,
and protein. Heavy loss of blood due to injury, bleeding piles and heavy menstruation may also
cause anaemia. A lack of digestive acid of hydrochloric acid needed for digestion of iron and
proteins may also result in anaemia. Emotional strain, anxiety and worry usually interfere with
the manufacture of hydrochloric acid in the body. Anaemia can also be caused by a variety of
drugs which destroy vitamin E or by others which inactivate the nutrients needed in building
blood cells. Chronic diseases such as tuberculosis, when accompanied by hemorrhage, may
also result in anaemia.
Other little-known causes of anaemia are intestinal parasites or worms. Hookworm, pinworms,
round worms and tapeworms feed on the blood supply as well as on the vitamins. Twenty-five
hookworms can consume fifteen grams of blood every 24 hours; a tapeworm can cause acute
shortage of vitamin B12. Symptoms of intestinal worms are itching at the rectum, restlessness at
night with bad dreams, diarrhoea, foul breath, dark circles under the eyes and a constant desire
for food. Garlic can help get rid of some types of intestinal parasites. Fresh papaya and grated
raw carrot are also effective. After successful treatment for intestinal worms, perfect cleanliness
should be observed to prevent recurrence

Which type of anemia is related to radiation damage?
Radiation-induced anemia is typically due to damage to the bone marrow, resulting in a decrease in red blood cell production. This type of anemia is called aplastic anemia, where the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells.
Anemia is a deficiency of what vitamins and minerals?
Iron-deficiency anemia occurs when more iron is needed in the diet. This is the most common type of anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is when there is not enough iron in the blood.Pernicious anemia mostly affects people over 40 and is a result of vitamin B 12 deficiency. Sickle-cell anemia is a hereditary blood cell defect that does not respond to vitamin or mineral treatment.
What disease is characterized by an inadequate number of red blood cells?
Anemia is a condition characterized by a low number of red blood cells, which can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Causes of anemia can vary, including nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, or genetic factors. Blood tests are typically used to diagnose anemia and determine the underlying cause.
Is anemia a genetic disorder?
Anemia is a broad disorder that literally translates as 'no blood'. In medical practice, anemia is a condition in which there are insufficient normal red blood cells to provide oxygen to the body tissues. Anemia can be caused by a wide variety of things: large volume blood loss, infection, cancer and toxins can all result in various types of anemia. There are also genetic causes of anemia. Two commonly discussed genetic anemias are sickle cell anemia and hemophilia-related anemia. Sickle cell anemia developed in Africa, where malaria parasites are common. A heterozygous individual has about 15% abnormal red blood cells that are crescent-shaped and don't transport oxygen well. Hemophilia was traced to a point mutation in the English royal line in the Middle Ages, which then spread throughout Europe via marriage among the royal houses. Hemophilia actually results in blood that does not clot properly, which can result in anemia due to chronic blood loss through hemorrhages.
The blood disorder characterized by anemia?
The blood disorder characterized by anemia is known as iron deficiency anemia. It occurs when there is a lack of iron in the body, leading to insufficient production of red blood cells and resulting in symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and pale skin. Iron deficiency anemia can be treated with iron supplements and dietary changes to increase iron intake.

Iron-deficiency anemia
What is it called when you lack iron?
An anemia caused by vitamin B12 is pernicious anemia while deficient in iron is iron defeciency anemia.
What is hemorragia anemia?
Anemia is reduced hemoglobin in blood. One cause of anemia is blood loss. Bleeding is called hemorrhagia. Anemia caused by blood loss is hemorrhagic anemia.

Can phlebotomy cause anemia?
While it does happen in rare cases where a patient is not producing enough blood to make up for any blood drawn, anemia resulting from phlebotomy is very rare and usually only occurs in older or very frail patients.
