Other anaemias - what does this mean

Other anaemias are a group of conditions caused by a decrease in the number of red blood cells or haemoglobin in the body. these can be caused by a variety of factors, including nutritional deficiencies, blood loss, bone marrow failure, chronic diseases, and inherited disorders.

What happens during the disease - other anaemias

Other anaemias are a group of anaemias caused by a variety of conditions, including nutritional deficiencies, bone marrow diseases, haemolytic disorders, and inherited conditions. these conditions can cause a reduction in the production of red blood cells or an increase in their destruction, leading to a decrease in the amount of oxygen-carrying haemoglobin in the blood. this can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and pale skin. treatment depends on the underlying cause of the anaemia.
