Anemia
Anemia evaluation for low hemoglobin, weakness, fatigue, iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, chronic disease, and blood disorder-related causes.
Understanding Anemia
Anemia means low hemoglobin or reduced red blood cells. It can happen due to iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, blood loss, chronic disease, or bone marrow problems.
Correct diagnosis is important because treatment depends on the exact cause of anemia.
Persistent low hemoglobin should be evaluated instead of taking supplements without knowing the reason.
Types of Anemia
Iron Deficiency Anemia
Commonly caused by low iron or blood loss.
Vitamin Deficiency Anemia
May happen due to B12 or folate deficiency.
Anemia of Chronic Disease
Linked with chronic inflammation or medical illness.
Symptoms to watch for
Recognising early symptoms leads to earlier diagnosis and better outcomes.
