• Definitions:
• A reduced number of red blood cells and/or levels of haemoglobin, (the pigment which carries oxygen, in the blood)
• Not enough red blood cells.
• Reduction in the red blood cell count.
• having a low red blood cell count; red blood cells carry oxygen around the body; a lack of oxygen can make you feel tired or short of breath
• A decreased number of active red blood cells that may cause tiredness and weakness.
• a shortage of red blood cells, which leads to symptoms such as weakness, breathlessness and reduced energy. Can be improved with iron and Erythropoietin.
• decrease in number of red blood cells and/or quantity of hemoglobin. Malaria causes anemia through rupture of red blood cells during merozoite release. The anaemia caused may be extreme. Pallor may be visible in the patient.
• reduced number of erythrocytes or red blood cells often resulting by haemolysis due to the damaging action of intra erythrocytic parasites suchg as Plasmodium or Babesia or by immunological reactions due to the presence of trypanosomes in the circulation.
• A condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells, in hemoglobin, or in total volume (British variant of anemia).
• A below-normal level in the number of red blood cells.
• Noun: A weak condition caused by not enough red cells in the blood or by a loss of blood. It is characterised by pallor , palpitation of the heart, and a tendency to fatigue.
• A reduction in the number of red blood cells in the body, which results in insufficient oxygen being carried by the blood to the organs of the body.
• Low level of the oxygen carrying chemical, haemoglobin, in the red blood cells. It often occurs due to lack of iron. Symptoms include pale skin and easily getting tired.
• A condition that is due to a reduced number of red blood cells or reduced amounts of haemoglobin within them. This results in reduced oxygen carrying capacity and reduced aerobic activity in body cells.
• A condition in which there are insufficient healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to tissues. It can be caused by an iron or vitamin deficiency, blood loss, a chronic illness, or a genetic or acquired defect or disease. It may also be a side effect of a medication. ...
• A lack of normal amount of red blood.
• a condition often caused by a lack of iron in the diet, so that the blood becomes weak. Other causes are malaria, hookworm, HIV and other infections
• Deficiency of quality or quantity of red corpuscles in the blood.
• A reduction in normal levels of haemogloblin, the protein in red blood cells which carries oxygen. Has many causes, including bleeding and processes that damage the red blood cells or reduce their production.
• Lack or deficiency of blood cells, usually erythrocytes
• anemia: a lack of vitality anemia: a deficiency of red blood cells
• Anemia (AmE) or anaemia (BrE), from the Greek (???????) meaning "without blood", refers to a deficiency of red blood cells (RBCs) and/or hemoglobin. ...
