What Is Anemia?
6. Anemia Of Inflammation
Other underlying health conditions will also sometimes cause anemia, in particular those that tend to cause inflammation in the body. This includes disease like Chron’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and kidney disease.
These conditions, and some others, can cause anemia by affecting the patient’s ability to produce new red blood cells.
Some diseases of the bone marrow, including mylefibrosis and leukemia, can also cause anemia. This is because the bone marrow is responsible for the production of red blood cells. The severity of these conditions can vary, ranging from being only mild in many cases, to being potentially deadly.
