Anemia is caused when there are too few RBCs circulating in the bloodstream. That can happen when they are lost through bleeding, destroyed too quickly or produced too slowly. When a person is anemic, the blood is less effective at transporting inhaled oxygen to cells and retrieving carbon dioxide from the tissues and carrying it back to the lungs to be exhaled.
