This may result from decreased production of red blood cells, increased destruction of these cells, or blood loss, whether sudden or ongoing. Common causes include nutritional deficiencies, such as iron deficiency, chronic illnesses, or disorders affecting the bone marrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anaemia can be acute or chronic, mild or severe, and it affects individuals across all age groups. It is one of the most widespread nutritional deficiencies globally and is considered a major public health concern. While anaemia itself may be manageable, it can also indicate an underlying medical condition and should be assessed by a qualified healthcare professional. With appropriate medical advice and care, steps may be taken to manage the condition and, in some instances, reduce the risk of its occurrence<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK499994\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Signs_and_Symptoms_of_Anaemia\"><\/span><strong>Signs and Symptoms of Anaemia<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of signs and symptoms that may indicate anaemia and may include the following<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/373434922_REVIEW_OF_ANEMIA_TYPES_AND_CAUSES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>:<sup> <\/sup>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fatigue\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shortness of breath\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sore tongue\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headache\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Involuntary restless movement in the lower leg \u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fast heartbeat\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many individuals take calcium and iron supplements, particularly when managing nutritional deficiencies. However, it is important to note that calcium and iron should not be taken at the same time, such as together at breakfast, lunch, or dinner, as each can interfere with the absorption of the other. Calcium may reduce the absorption of iron, and vice versa, potentially diminishing the effectiveness of both supplements<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/373434922_REVIEW_OF_ANEMIA_TYPES_AND_CAUSES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>. To support absorption, it is generally recommended to take these supplements at different times of the day, as advised by a healthcare professional.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Non-iron_deficiency_Anaemia_Types_and_Causes\"><\/span><strong>Non-iron deficiency Anaemia (Types and Causes)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anaemia can be caused by other reasons other than iron deficiency. These include:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Pernicious Anaemia<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some individuals develop a type of anaemia known as pernicious anaemia, which occurs when the body is unable to absorb vitamin B12 due to a lack of a substance called intrinsic factor, produced in the stomach. Without sufficient vitamin B12, the body cannot produce healthy red blood cells effectively. Another related condition is folic acid deficiency anaemia, which results from a deficiency of vitamin B9 (folate). While both conditions are classified as megaloblastic anaemias, a term that refers to the presence of abnormally large red blood cells, they are distinct in cause and treatment. It is important to note that folic acid deficiency anaemia should not be grouped with pernicious anaemia, even though they share similar characteristics. Accurate diagnosis is essential, as each condition requires specific management under the guidance of a healthcare professional<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/373434922_REVIEW_OF_ANEMIA_TYPES_AND_CAUSES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<sup> <\/sup>\u00a0<\/p><div id=\"sfa_container_4166\" class=\"sfa_container\" style=\"display:none\"><div class=\"sfa_overlay\"><\/div><button id=\"sfa_btn_4166\" class=\"sfa_btn\">Show Full Article<\/button><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Haemolytic Anaemia<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Haemolytic anaemia is a condition in which red blood cells are destroyed faster than the body can replace them. In some cases, this may result from the body producing abnormally shaped or defective red blood cells that break down prematurely. This can be due to inherited (genetic) conditions. However, not all cases involve faulty red blood cell production. Haemolytic anaemia may also arise from external or acquired factors that damage otherwise normal red blood cells. Causes can be broadly classified into two types: intrinsic (genetic) causes, such as membrane disorders, enzyme deficiencies like G6PD deficiency, or inherited conditions like thalassaemia and sickle cell disease; and extrinsic (acquired) causes, which include autoimmune diseases, certain infections, specific medications, or mechanical damage (such as from artificial heart valves). Diagnosis and treatment should always be guided by a qualified healthcare professional, as the underlying cause varies from person to person<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/373434922_REVIEW_OF_ANEMIA_TYPES_AND_CAUSES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Sickle Cell Anaemia<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sickle cell anaemia is a genetic form of anaemia in which the red blood cells are abnormally shaped. Instead of the usual round, flexible shape, these cells take on a rigid, sickle-like (crescent) shape. Their abnormal shape makes it difficult for them to move smoothly through blood vessels, leading to blockages in circulation, which can cause pain, organ damage, and other serious complications. Additionally, these misshapen cells tend to break down more quickly than normal red blood cells, resulting in a shortage. The function of haemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen, may also be impaired. This condition is inherited and requires long-term medical management under specialist care<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/373434922_REVIEW_OF_ANEMIA_TYPES_AND_CAUSES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Diamond Blackfan Anaemia<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Diamond-Blackfan Anaemia (DBA) is a rare blood disorder that is most often inherited and usually diagnosed within the first year of life in the majority of affected individuals. It occurs when the bone marrow fails to produce enough red blood cells, leading to anaemia. DBA is almost always congenital, meaning it is present from birth, and is commonly linked to mutations in genes related to ribosomal proteins, which are essential for cell function and growth. In rare cases, DBA may be acquired later in life. Due to its complexity and rarity, diagnosis and management should be carried out by a specialist healthcare team<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/373434922_REVIEW_OF_ANEMIA_TYPES_AND_CAUSES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Aplastic anaemia<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aplastic anaemia is a rare condition in which the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This can lead to fatigue, infections, and bleeding. It may be acquired or, less commonly, inherited. While the term \u201cbone marrow aplasia\u201d describes reduced marrow activity, it is not typically used as a direct synonym for aplastic anaemia. Diagnosis and treatment require specialist care<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/373434922_REVIEW_OF_ANEMIA_TYPES_AND_CAUSES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Fanconi Anaemia<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fanconi anaemia is a rare genetic disorder that leads to bone marrow failure and a shortage of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, a condition known as pancytopenia. In addition to anaemia, individuals may have physical abnormalities, such as short stature, skeletal defects (especially of the thumbs or arms), and skin pigmentation changes. It also carries an increased risk of developing certain cancers, particularly leukaemia. Fanconi anaemia requires specialised diagnosis and long-term medical management<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/373434922_REVIEW_OF_ANEMIA_TYPES_AND_CAUSES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Mediterranean Anaemia<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beta-thalassaemia major, also known as Cooley\u2019s anaemia, is a genetic disorder where the body cannot produce enough haemoglobin, leading to severe anaemia. The red blood cells made are often abnormal and have a short lifespan. Managing this condition requires regular medical care.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While diet alone cannot treat anaemia, eating well can support overall health. Avoiding certain foods and following a diet recommended by a healthcare professional may help prevent complications and manage symptoms more effectively<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/373434922_REVIEW_OF_ANEMIA_TYPES_AND_CAUSES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote doc-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Anaemia is one of the most common blood disorders worldwide.
