Decrease in Hemoglobin
Anemia (year of private-and ancient Greek haimos, “blood”) is an abnormal blood picture characterized by a decrease in hemoglobin concentration intraerythrocytic (and sometimes the lack of erythrocytes or red blood cells ). This lack leads to poor transport of oxygen through the blood.
It is diagnosed by blood count, a test performed on blood. If the decrease is in red blood cells and platelets or leukocytes, is known as bicytopenia. If the three lines are down, we speak of pancytopenia.
