Causes of Anemia
Disease description:
I have been experiencing frequent dizziness lately, especially when getting up in the morning. A complete blood count (CBC) test indicated that I have anemia. What are the causes of anemia?
The causes of anemia are diverse, mainly including the following aspects:
1. Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients for blood production, such as iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid. This is commonly seen in individuals with unbalanced diets or malnutrition.
2. Excessive blood loss: Blood loss caused by trauma, surgery, or gastrointestinal bleeding, leading to a decrease in red blood cell count.
3. Chronic diseases: Conditions such as kidney disease, rheumatic diseases, and cancer can lead to long-term depletion of red blood cells, resulting in anemia.
4. Bone marrow hematopoietic dysfunction: Disorders such as aplastic anemia and leukemia impair the bone marrow's normal ability to produce blood cells, leading to reduced red blood cell production.
It is recommended to develop a targeted treatment plan based on individual circumstances to restore health.
