My daughter seemd to be so weak lately. That worried me so I took her to the doctor. He said she has anemia. I have heard for this term before and I know there is something wrong with her blood. I know that is not enough since I am mother, so I would like to hear more about anemia.

Anemia is a lower than normal number of red blood cells, or erythrocytes in the blood. It is usually measured by a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the red pigment in red blood cells, which transports oxygen. There are many types and potential causes of anemia. Anemia is one of the more common blood disorders. I shall say something about each type of anemia, since they are not caused by the same trigger. Hemolytic anemia occurs when red blood cells are being destroyed prematurely. Also and bone marrow simply can't keep up with the body's demand for new cells. Sickle cell anemia is a severe form of anemia found almost exclusively in people of African heritage. There are some more different types of anemia, but in fact, they all mean there is some blood problem, and treatment should be directed at the cause of the anemia.
