Overview

Anaemia, or lack of red blood cells, is common, and can be a symptom of a serious underlying disorder. It has a number of causes, and this book stresses that it's vital to find and treat these, rather than just prescribing iron tablets. Topics include: * Types of anaemia * Tests and diagnosis * Anaemia in menstruation and pregnancy * Anaemia due to other blood loss, eg pernicious anaemia, coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease and tumours * The controversial question of nutritional anaemia * The anaemias of old age * Sickle cell anaemia and thalassaemia * Rare forms of the disease
