There are different types of anemia and may be due to alterations in stem cells or deficit of factors that stimulate or are needed for erythropoiesis (technical name of the formation of red blood cells). It is also common, and also more known, iron deficiency anemia, caused by iron deficiency. Another type of megaloblastic anemia is common, caused by a deficiency of vitamin B12 or folic acid. On the other hand, there are also peripheral anemias, caused by blood loss or breakage of red blood cells in the circulation (hemolytic anemia).

The same is true of other anemias, to be offset in accordance with each deficiency.

Whatever the cause, treatment specialist should meet, and in the case of iron deficiency anemia, iron continues to take three or four months after correction of anemia, to fill the bone marrow stores of iron.
