Anaemia is the deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood resulting difficult for blood to carry oxygen to organs and tissues. Anemia is the most common disorder of the blood. The three main classes of anaemia include excessive blood loss, excessive blood destruction or deficient red blood cell production. The main causes of anaemia are blood loss, lack of red blood cell production and destruction of red blood cell.
