Anemia is a condition in which the body lacks red blood cells (RBCs) or hemoglobin. Since RBCs are the major oxygen transporters in the body, anemia causes deficient supply of oxygen to your organs. It is the most common of all blood disorders. The predominant symptom of anemia is fatigue. Though anemia can be classified into hundreds of subtypes, the three major underlying causes of anemia are: blood loss, defective red blood cell production, and excessive destruction of red blood cells
