Other iron deficiency anaemias are a group of disorders caused by a lack of iron in the body, leading to a decrease in the production of haemoglobin. this can be due to inadequate dietary intake of iron, malabsorption of iron from the gut, or increased iron loss from the body due to excessive bleeding or other causes. as a result, red blood cells are unable to carry sufficient oxygen to the body's tissues, leading to symptoms of anaemia.
