AB Anemia  is  a  common  clinical  problem  in  medicine.  A  physiologic  approach  (outlined  in  Chap.  47)  provides  the  most  efficient  path  to  diagnosis  and  management.  Anemias  arise  either  because  red  blood  cell  (RBC)  production  is  inadequate  or  because  RBC  lifespan  (normally  120  days)  is  shortened  through  loss  from  the  circulation  or  destruction.
