What is 10.Severe Anaemia

Anemia is a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body's tissues. Having anemia can make you feel tired and weak.
There are many forms of anemia, each with its own cause. Anemia can be temporary or long term, and it can range from mild to severe. See your doctor if you suspect that you have anemia. It can be a warning sign of serious illness.
Anemia is a reduced number of red cells or a reduced amount of hemoglobin (Hb) in each red cell. Hemoglobin in the blood carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues where it releases the oxygen to burn nutrients to provide energy to power the functions of the body, and collects the resultant carbon dioxide to bring it back to the lungs to be dispensed from the body.
Severe anemia may impair growth motor and mental development. Children may exhibit a reduced physical development (decreased work output and capacities), and reduced cognitive development (diminished concentration, disturbance in perception and poor learning abilities).
As per NFHS 3 survey (2005-06), 70% of children are anemic and 3% severely anemic. It is important, to remember, that mostly there is no symptom of anemia unless the Hb is below 8g/dl or 6 g/dl. Sometimes even at still lower levels patient may not be aware of anemia.
