Coping with Anaemia

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 simply prescribing iron tablets. Iron tablets do have their place in treatment, but this is rarely the full answer and priority must be given to discovering the underlying cause. Zusammenfassung Anaemia, or lack of red blood cells, is the commonest physical abnormality in humans worldwide, and can be a symptom of a serious underlying disorder. Coping with Anaemia looks at the many reasons why people may be anaemic, including the controversial question of nutritional anaemia.
