Causes

Iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid deficiencies are three of the most important causes of anemia. Other possible causes include:
  • Certain medications
  • Destruction of red blood cells earlier than normal (which may be caused by immune system problems)
  • Long-term (chronic) diseases such as chronic kidney disease, cancer, ulcerative colitis, or rheumatoid arthritis
  • Some forms of anemia, such as thalassemia or sickle cell anemia, which can be inherited
  • Pregnancy
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Problems with bone marrow such as lymphoma, leukemia, multiple myeloma, or aplastic anemia
  • Slow blood loss (for example, from heavy menstrual periods or stomach ulcers)
