This is a common and easily treatable type of anemia caused by insufficient iron in the body (inadequate blood production). It is more frequently observed in women and infants. It occurs when the body cannot produce enough red blood cells due to iron deficiency. Hemoglobin levels decrease and oxygen carrying capacity is reduced. Causes of Iron Deficiency • Poor nutrition • Pregnancy • Blood loss • Peptic ulcer • Hemorrhoids • Impaired iron absorption • Celiac disease • Crohn’s disease • Long-ter

Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA), known internationally as Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), is a hereditary blood disorder characterized by the production of abnormal hemoglobin S (HbS) due to a mutation in the hemoglobin gene. This structural defect causes red blood cells to lose their normal round and flexible shape and assume a sickle form. Sickled erythrocytes lose their elasticity, adhere to vessel walls, and cause microvascular occlusions, leading to inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues. Over time, hyp
