Anemia is further broadly subcategorized into acute and chronic. (See Etiology.) Anemia usually is grouped into 3 etiologic categories: Decreased red blood cell (RBC) production Increased RBC destruction Blood loss Anemia is a manifestation of an underlying disease process and is not a diagnosi...
Anemia is an important and frequent complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and its prevalence increases as renal function declines. The etiology of anemia in CKD is multifactorial, including absolute or relative lack of erythropoietin, iron deficiency, blood loss, shortened red ...

The etiology of anemia is attributable to a combination of blood loss and impaired RBC production. These include acute and occult blood losses as well as repeated phlebotomy. Decreased RBC production is due to the combined effects of an inappropriately low erythropoietin response and abnormal iron ...
(i)Acute blood loss anemia occurs when a large amount of blood is lost over a short period of time, which can happen if someone has a serious accident or injury. (ii)Losing a little blood over a long period of time also might lead to chronic blood loss anemia. This can happen in gi...

Patients with iron deficiency anemia receive oral or parenteral iron replacement therapy, as the source of chronic blood loss is located.25,26The goal of treatment is to return Hb levels and restore MCV to normal. A complete investigation should be performed to determine the etiology of themicroc...
The strength of this study is that we identified newly diagnosed anemia as a potential biomarker of PD, after excluding anemia caused by chronic renal disease and several temporary blood loss-related anemia types (such as a pre-existing major operation or peptic ulcer); the exclusion enabled us...
