A person suffers from Anemia when the count of red blood cell or hemoglobin gets below the normal range. The level of hemoglobin in men is 13.5 gram/100 ml and in female is 12.0 gram/100 ml. Dropping in this hemoglobin level is known as Anemia. There may be two reasons that cause anemia:

  1. The production of red blood cells or hemoglobin is getting decreased 
  2. Red blood cells are getting destructed more than normal range
