Possible causes of anemia include: 1  Certain medications. 2  Destruction of red blood cells earlier than normal (which may be caused by immune system problems) 3  Long-term (chronic) diseases such as chronic kidney disease, cancer, ulcerative colitis, or rheumatoid arthritis.
People with anemia have a lower-than-normal level of red blood cells (RBCs) in their blood. It can cause headaches, weakness, fatigue, and many other symptoms. It can also lead to long-term health problems if not treated. Without enough iron, your body will make fewer RBCs or will produce smaller RBCs than normal.
