This document defines anemia and discusses its causes, symptoms, types, and treatment. Anemia is a decrease in red blood cells. Common causes include blood loss, iron deficiency, kidney disease, poor nutrition, and alcoholism. Types of anemia include sickle cell, pernicious, thalassemia, bone marrow-related, and aplastic anemia. Treatment depends on the type of anemia but generally involves addressing the underlying cause. Anemia is best prevented through a healthy diet, limiting alcohol, and regular doctor checkups.

2. WHAT IS ANEMIA
 Anemia is a decrease in the number of red blood
cells

3. SYMPTOMS OF ANEMIA

4. CAUSES OF ANEMIA
 Anemia from active bleeding: Loss of blood through
heavy menstrual bleeding or, wounds can cause anemia.
Gastrointestinal ulcers or cancers such as cancer of the
colon may slowly ooze blood and can also cause anemia.
Iron deficiency anemia: The bone marrow needs iron to
make red blood cells. Iron plays an important role in the
proper structure of the hemoglobin molecule. If iron intake
is limited or inadequate due to poor dietary intake, anemia
may occur as a result.

5. CAUSES OF ANEMIA
 Anemia related to kidney disease: The kidneys
release a hormone called the erythropoietin that helps
the bone marrow make red blood cells.This is called
anemia related to chronic kidney disease
 Anemia related to poor nutrition
 Alcoholism

6. TYPES OF ANEMIA
 Sickle cell anemia
 Pernicious Anemia
 Thalassemia
 Bone marrow-related anemia
 Aplastic anemia

7. TYPES OF ANEMIA
 Hemolytic anemia
 Anemia related to medications

8. TREATMENT OF ANEMIA
 If a person has anemia he should be treated in the
specific type of the anemia treatment
 Before treatment, the cause should be detected

9. HOW TO AVOID ANEMIA
 anemia are prevented by eating a healthy diet and
limiting alcohol use. All types of anemia are best
avoided by seeing a doctor regularly and when
problems arise. In the elderly, routine blood work
ordered by the doctor, even if there are no
symptoms, may detect anemia and prompt the doctor
to look for the underlying causes.

12. Red blood cells and sickle cells
 Red blood cells are normal blood cells. It contains a chemical
that transfers oxygen from nose or mouth to lungs and vise
versa called hemoglobin
 When a person has anemia ,the body produces improper red
blood cells called sickle cells that contains abnormal
hemoglobin or sickle hemoglobin that doesn’t perform its
role well
