Anemia is caused by a deficiency of what?
Correct answer: Red blood cells
Chocomuncher
an iron deficiency and anemia are not the same thing. lack of iron can cause anemia because iron is needed to make red bloodcells, but anemia can also have other causes, like severe blood loss.

I drank poison 70 years ago. Since then I've struggled with no energy. Last year, I saw an ENT doctor before getting hearing aids and he said my pituitary was screaming nonstop for my thyroid to do its job. Healthy levels are 1 or 2. My level was 87.9. He removed my thyroid (which had a mass in it which h was pressing on my vocal chords) and in the tests done afterwards cancer was found. I had no idea. That was last year. I am warmer now, but still little energy. I have thyroid replacement daily plus Vitamin D3. My friend who is a nurse told me not to expect a big change in my energy level because of my age. My only sorrow is l can no longer sing. can't

Chocomuncher, I have haemolytic anaemia with spherocytosis. That’s where the red blood cells are shaped like balls instead of plates. My spleen was misidentifying these as foreign bodies and killing them off thus causing my anaemia. I had to have my spleen taken out.

anaemia is caused by a lack of haemoglobin within red cells, not necessarily by a lack of red cells. in iron deficiency anaemia, red cell numbers can still remain within normal ranges, but contain less haemoglobin per cell.

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited hemolytic anemia in which the hemoglobin protein is abnormal, causing the red blood cells to be rigid and clog the circulation because they are unable to flow through small blood vessels.😏😏😏

The body cannot produce enough healthy red blood cells. It is not a lack of blood. You have thin, useless blood with no minerals and iron. It affects EVERYTHING. Four blood transfusions, and six iron infusions this year ... I know!!

I was anemic as a child, had to take iron pills until I was in my mid-teens. Never had it again until I was in my early 50s. No specific reason has ever been found by doctors except that I began donating blood regularly to the American Red Cross after I joined the US Army, having to date donated 169 units (21 gallons). I take over-the-counter iron pills and my hemoglobin reading is an average 14.5 which is considered very good.

Anemia is caused by haemoglobin deficiency, not insufficiency of RBCs.

rafter, I think that means you have hemochromatosis...Or your body has to give blood (let out the excess iron in your blood cells) to get rid of the excess iron. It's a condition that runs in my family. I don't have it but I know what it is. God bless you and be diligent to monitor your levels of iron. 🙏
