AB Anemia  is  a  common  medical  problem  worldwide,  affecting  approximately  one  quarter  of  the  world's  population,  especially  children,  pregnant  and  premenopausal  women,  the  elderly,  and  the  chronically  ill.1,2,3,4,5,6,7  Anemia  is  not  so  much  a  disease  as  a  sign  or  symptom.  There  are  three  broad  causes  of  anemia:  (1)  blood  loss,  (2)  decreased  red  blood  cell  production,  and  (3)  increased  red  blood  cell  destruction.
