Anemia is associated with low level of red blood cells and abnormal red blood cell morphology causes low supply of hemoglobin in red blood cells reduces the oxygen supply. It results in decreased red blood cell production and blood loss and increase destruction of blood cells may occur. The pathophysiologically of anemia has been associated with multiple factors.
