10 Signs of Anemia
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Hemoglobin is a substance that flows throughout our bodies in our blood. It is essential to us because it binds with oxygen, allowing the blood to then transport it to where it is needed. The body will usually make all the hemoglobin that it needs, but anemia is a condition where there is not enough hemoglobin present.
Anemia can be caused by things such as a lack of iron, which is needed in order to be able to make hemoglobin. It can also be caused by excessive bleeding, which will cause the body to lose a lot of hemoglobin-rich red blood cells. It is a condition that is fairly easy to treat, but it can be quite serious if left untreated so it should not be approached with complacency.
