What types of anemia does NAAC focus on?
NAAC focuses on anemia that is caused by iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, aging, surgery or by acquired chronic conditions like cancer, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disease, heart disease, hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS, and rheumatoid arthritis. These types of anemia are known as iron deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic disease. NAAC has numerous resources devoted to these types of anemia, including the basic education in our Information Handouts, Anemia FAQs, Symptoms Quiz, and the interactive tutorial Blood & Bone Marrow Basics.
