What is anemia?
Anemia is the result of a lower-than-normal level of red blood cells (RBCs). This can be caused by such events as blood loss (as in surgery); or certain diseases, such as cancer, kidney disease or HIV; or by treatment such as chemotherapy or AZT. It can also be due to deficiencies in iron, folate, and/or vitamin B12.
