Anaemia means the condition that means lack of blood. It is the common blood disorder that occurs when the quantity of red blood cells decreases in the body. Hemoglobin helps the red blood cells to carry oxygen from the lungs to all other parts of the body. The formation of hemoglobin depends on adequate dietary supplies of iron and protein.

Types of Anemia

* Iron deficiency anemia: It is the common type of anaemia. Iron is required for the formation of hemoglobin. When there is less iron in the body it causes iron deficiency anaemia.
* Aplastic anaemia: It is caused when body stops making enough red blood cells and chances of infections increases.
* Vitamin deficiency anaemia: This is called megaloblastic anemia.This is caused mainly due to the deficiency of folic acid or vitamin B12.
* Underlying diseases: Certain conditions can affect the formation of red blood cells. For example in kidney failure one is on dialysis and kidney is not in the condition to produce hormones that are required for iron absorption.
* Pernicious anaemia: When body is not able to absorb vitamin B12 from the foods, that condition is known as pernicious anaemia.
