Anemia or anaemia is a blood disorder in which the blood has a reduced ability to carry oxygen due to a lower than normal number of red blood cells, or a reduction in the amount of haemoglobin.

Anemia must be significant before a person becomes noticeably pale.

Anemia can be temporary or long term and can range from mild to severe.

Anemia can be caused by blood loss, decreased red blood cell production, and increased red blood cell breakdown.

Anemia can be classified based on the size of the red blood cells and amount of hemoglobin in each cell.
