Anaemia is a medical state in which the human body suffers from the lack of red blood cells or haemoglobin as it falls below the required level. It is basically caused due to the decrease in production of haemoglobin or due to excessive bleeding. A person suffering from anaemia generally feels very tired, looks pale and can often feel their heart racing. It is simple to detect through a blood test. There are different types of anaemia, some of which are: iron deficiency anaemia, anaemia of chronic diseases, aplastic anaemia, sickle cell anaemia, iron deficiency anaemia, haemolytic anaemia etc.
