Anemia
Anemia is a condition that develops when
your blood lacks enough healthy red
blood cells or hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is
a main part of red blood cells and binds
oxygen. If you have too few or abnormal
red blood cells, or your hemoglobin is
abnormal or low, the cells in your body will
not get enough oxygen. Symptoms of
anemia -- like fatigue -- occur because
organs aren't getting what they need to
function properly
