It all depends on the Anemia. I have Sickle Cell Anemia which causes me to have a very low immune system, while my Mom is only borderline Anemic and my Dad is only a gene carrier, and they both have very high immune systems. I suggest you find out which sort of Anemia you have (if you have it) then you would be able to find out more. :)

No. Anemia is low iron, or malformed blood cells, or both.
I have anemia, and my immune system is just fine. In fact, due to the vitamin C I take to get my iron levels up, I haven't had a cold since November 2005.

It depends on the anemia. There's your standard IDA which is just iron deficiency anemia then there's the anemia that are secondary to leukemia. This is when the patient has a compromised immune system and have bleeding tendencies as their platelet count drops. Some of your most common anemias are: pernicious (found usually in the elderly), IDA, sickel cell (found usually in blacks....very, very painful), and thalassmia major and minor (usually found in the medeterranian population).
None of these by themselves cause compromised immunity but if they are married to another disease, then yes.

People with anemia do not have enough iron in their blood. This may affect their immune system over time.

No, I actually have blended race kinfolk contributors, and none-blended race kinfolk contributors. It relies upon on the persons own clinical historic past. The section human beings had susceptible immune platforms in evaluation to Europeans because they'd no longer suffered from an similar diseases because the Europeans. Small pox, syphilis and larger killed thousands and thousands of them off very rapidly. an similar occurred to African slaves who got here into contact with those diseases. Our immune platforms boost superior with the help of struggling with infections and disease. As an total, human immune platforms are weaker than even 100 years in the past because our immune platforms do no longer ought to wrestle as a lot for our wellbeing. We take antibiotics for each thing. If someone has a susceptible immune device, they are going to bypass this on to their little ones etc. that's genetic. no longer something to do with race. intense blood stress and some psychological diseases are more effective effortless between minorities than others. that's no longer a race ingredient, it truly is in certain circumstances hereditary.

Not necessarily. I am anemic, and I have to take extra iron. It's just low iron in your body. I would think the answer is no, but I can't say for sure because everyone is different.

no. anemia is just a low blood cell count or just low level of iron in the blood.

Not necessarily. I've always been "borderline" anemic and I hardly ever get sick otherwise. I'm just cold a lot of the time.
