Severe anemia is a critical condition characterized by a significant drop in red blood cell count or hemoglobin levels, leading to reduced oxygen supply to the body’s organs and tissues. It can cause extreme fatigue, weakness, and serious health complications if left untreated.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of iron, vitamin B12, or folic acid.
Chronic Diseases: Kidney disease, cancer, or autoimmune disorders.

Iron or Vitamin Supplements: For anemia caused by nutritional deficiencies.
Blood Transfusions: To quickly restore red blood cells in severe cases.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, supporting recovery.
Medications: Such as erythropoietin to stimulate red blood cell production.
Bone Marrow Transplant: For severe bone marrow-related anemias.
Managing Underlying Conditions: Treating kidney disease, cancer, or chronic infections.
Eating an iron-rich diet (leafy greens, red meat, beans, nuts).
Ensuring adequate intake of vitamin B12 and folic acid.
