Disease/Condition Glossary
Iron deficiency anaemia: Anaemia is the decrease in the red blood cells or haemoglobin concentration in the blood or the lowered ability to carry the oxygen. It is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells for carrying adequate oxygen to various body tissues.
If the body has too little iron, it cannot make enough haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is the main protein in the red blood cells which is responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.
Anaemia can be caused by blood loss due to ulcers, haemorrhoids, inflammation of the stomach, menstruation, or problems with bone marrow. Symptoms include tiredness, weakness, shortness of breath, light-headedness, pale skin, dizziness, or fast heartbeat.
