The three main causes of anemia are:
  • Blood loss
Blood loss is the most common cause of anemia, especially iron-deficiency anemia. Blood loss can be short term or persist over time.
  • Lack of red blood cell production
  • High rates of red blood cell destruction

Some people have anemia due to more than one of these factors.
