Causes of blood loss include trauma and gastrointestinal bleeding among others. Causes of decreased production include iron deficiency, a lack of vitamin B12, thalassemia and a number of neoplasms of the bone marrow among others. Causes of increased breakdown include a number of genetic conditions such as sickle cell anemia, infections like malaria and some autoimmune diseases among others. It can also be classified based on the size of red blood cells and amount of hemoglobin in each cell. If the cells are small it is microcytic anemia, if Fatty Deposits Partially Blocked Coronary Artery Vein Disease Arterial Disease Wep Versus Blood How Marmalartery Acarry Wood flow Narattay Neck carotid bruits JVP M Blood pressure two or more readings while sitting measure in both ams measure standing Kidneys kidney artery brut best heard in epigastrium ? enlarged kidneys measure BP in thigh Waist circumference Height and weight measure BMI High Blood Pressure High blood pressure is a sign that the heart and blood vessels are being overworked Untreated, the disease can lead to atherosclerosis and congestive heart failure.
