Anemia: Types list
The list of types of Anemia mentioned in various sources includes:
- Iron deficiency anemia - the most common cause.
- Sickle Cell Anemia
- Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia
- Pernicious anemia
- Thalassemia
- Categories of anemias:
- Microcytic hypochromic anemia - about 90% of cases
- Megaloblastic hyperchromic anemia - about 7% of cases; immature megaloblast cells wrongly enter the blood.
- Aplastic anemia - bone marrow not producing enough red blood cells.
- Hemolytic anemia - caused by early destruction of red blood cells in the blood.
- Sideroblastic anemia
Curable Types of Anemia:
- Nutritional anemia

Types discussion:
There are several kinds of anemia produced by a variety of underlying causes, but the most common and most severe type of anemia, iron-deficiency anemia (IDA). Just as the name implies, this form of anemia is due to insufficient iron. In the United States, 20% of all women of childbearing age have iron-deficiency anemia, compared with only 2% of adult men. The principal cause of iron-deficiency anemia in premenopausal women is blood lost during menses. (Source: excerpt from Anemia: NWHIC)
