Anemia is a term that shows a low count of red blood cells and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels below normal (Smeltzer, 2002: 935).
Anemia is reduced to below normal values of red blood cells, hemoglobin and high volume of packed red bloods cells (hematocrit) per 100 ml of blood (Price, 2006: 256).
