Define Haemorrhagic or Blood Loss Anaemia
The body replaces plasma within 1-3 days after a haemorrhage, but this leaves a low concentration of red blood cells. In chronic blood loss, a person often cannot absorb enough iron from the intestines to form Hb as rapidly as it is lost. Red cells are then generated with too little haemoglobin inside them giving rise to microcytic hypochromic anaemia. What is microcytic hypochromic anaemia? Read on and you will find out in a little while from now.
