Q. What is the Definition of Anemia? My doctor told me I have anemia, based on my latest blood tests. What is anemia?

A. Anemia is defined as a deficiency of hemoglobin, a molecule inside the red blood cells (RBC's). The hemoglobin is responsible for carrying the oxygen that we breath from the lungs to the body tissues. Anemia causes lack of oxygen in the organs, in different degrees. A regular blood test can discover anemia, simply if the hemoglobin (Hb) level is lower than 13.0 g/dL in adult men and lower than 12.0 g/dL in adult women. The blood test can also suggest on the cause of the anemia, depending on other values that can be measured.
