This is one of the most well known causes of anemia. Increased iron requirements‚ impaired iron absorption or hemorrhage can cause iron deficiency anemia. Without enough iron the body fails to synthesize hemoglobin and the ability to transport oxygen is reduces. Iron requirements are at the highest level during the first two

The size of RBCs are also changed to either smaller or larger than the normal cells and eventually RBCs died sooner than expected (10 to 20 days compared to normal RBC). Symptoms of anemia
