Definition of anemia
Anemia is an English term derived from the Greek language and its literal translation (no blood or lack of blood), a condition that occurs as a result of the low level of hemoglobin from the normal level. The rate of female decline varies from males. As a result, Hemoglobin is the complete work of the organs in the body, thus causing imbalance in the body configurations, and metabolic processes that occur within the body, and anemia varies from one case to another, and from person to person, as there is a type of anemia is the result of a disorder in Function of red blood cells production, there is a type Another is the result of the loss of a large amount of blood, both in the incident or injury as a result of a particular disease.
Categories of anemia
Because of the prevalence of anemia, scientists have made a class of rankings, which are based on several things, and the most important of these classifications are:
Production of blood cells for cracking
With the continuation of studies on patients with anemia, and because of the importance of anemia, the result was to reach many inquiries, which make them fall under the name of anemia classifications, and all these rankings were the result of a set of assessments that muzzled a group of blood samples from people And the result of these analyzes is that this classification is based on the fact that anemia in this case is a lack of red blood cells manufacturing in the body, and therefore there is no source of compensation for blood cells that break and are lost, and the evidence of these ratings is the presence of deformity In some things that distinguish Blood cells, as there are some markers that characterize the blood cells, which are present in the pellets, and works to increase the proportion of the enzyme lactate hydrolysis, and this is evidence of cracking the cells.
Red blood cell size
Blood cells are classified according to the morphological method based on the size of the blood cells. This happens either automatically or through microscopic analyzes. Scientists also call the red blood cells the name of the average globular volume of the blood cells, and if the rate is less Of normal size, the name of small anemia is called pellets, but if the size is normal, it is called normal anemia, and if it is larger than normal it is called anemia.
Symptoms of anemia
Anemia is a condition of any disease that can affect humans, so it has a range of symptoms that appear on the owner of the disease, which in most cases is indicative of the existence of the disease in this person, and the most important symptoms that can be talked about in this corner:

- Feeling very tired in the case of exercise, and it may be accompanied by a case of heart pain, because exercise requires an effort and thus an increase in heartbeat, and we know that heartbeat is the result of blood flow in the heart, which means Do not enter large amounts of blood to the heart, which leads to a sense of pain in the heart muscles because of the inability to perform its functions.
- Symptoms may develop into a case of angina, or a heart attack.
- This is a symptom of iron deficiency, which is very common among people with anemia.
- In the case of anemia among children, one of the symptoms may cause a state of violence in children and may cause a disturbance in behavior due to a malfunction of the nervous system.
- The occurrence of dehydration, stiffness in the nails.
- The inability to stay in the cold atmosphere for a long time, because their skin appears to numb quickly, or appear to prick in the form of patches in the skin, and the result of the limited amount of hemoglobin.
- There is a state of tension in the limbs, both arms or feet, and there are several other symptoms such as stomach pain, which causes an increase in the rate of vomiting, and the presence of some blood points in the stool.
- The face is dominated by a condition of lizard.

Treatment of anemia
There are many ways that have been newly created to eliminate the problem of anemia. They are related to the causes of the disease. Knowing the cause of the disease greatly helps in obtaining the therapeutic method of the disease. Most anemia cases are dominated by a lack of iron in the body , So the simplest solution to the problem of anemia is to eat foods full of iron, and iron can be obtained from drugs and drugs that can help increase the amount of iron, and helps to replenish damaged blood cells, and try to compensate broken blood cells.
There are also some types of vitamins that help increase the proportion of iron in the body, which is most important vitamin C, and there are cases of anemia in which it is necessary to transfer the amount of blood to the injured person.
Blood transfusion as an treatment for anemia
Doctors always try to get the patient to the shortest and best way to get the patient to the state of stability, but in most cases, doctors try to provide the body with blood doses as a final solution to eliminate the problem of anemia, but there are cases where there is no solution but to be transferred Blood to the patient, as this solution is the best place to save the patient’s life, and modern developments helped to find the best ways in which can be saved blood.
