Do you know what the word "immunity" means??? There may be weight loss due to anorexia, a symptom of anemia. Other symptoms are fatigue, weakness, feeling out of breath with mild exertion, dizziness, headache, insomnia and/or pallor, experience confusion or disorientation, stomach upset, palpitations and tachycardia (a racing heartbeat). If you have had any of these, it's not necessarily anemia. There are other conditions that share some or all these same symptoms. My professional advice to you is to see your health care provider for a complete physical and diagnostic testing to determine the cause.
Incidentally, the definition of anemia that was given by someone else is wrong.

They may be. Do you find yourself more exhausted than usual? Has there been any stresses lately? How about exercising - have you done more exercising than usual?
"Anaemia is a general term for a category of blood conditions that affect the red blood cells or the oxygen-carrying haemoglobin they contain.
In anaemia, there is either a reduction in the number of red blood cells in circulation or a decrease in the amount or quality of haemoglobin. There are many causes of anaemia, including severe blood loss, genetic disorders, and serious diseases. (See iron deficiency anaemia, pernicious anaemia [vitamin B12-related], and sickle cell anaemia.) Anyone with unexplained anaemia should have the cause determined by a qualified doctor.
Some athletes appear to have anaemia when their blood is tested, but this may be a normal adaptation to the stress of exercise,1 which does not need treatment. Further evaluation by a qualified doctor is necessary."

What do you mean by immunity? Severe weight loss is a symptom of a lot of things. Anemia is a result of severe weight loss. Wherever these questions are coming from, the person should consult a doctor.

anemia can be easily checked by your dr with a blood test. severe anemia can cause serious complications. some symptoms are fatigue or loss of energy, unusually rapid heart beat ususally with exercise, shortness of breath and headache also usually with exercise, difficulty concentrating, dizziness, trouble sleeping, leg cramps and pale skin. there are other symptoms of each individual type of anemia (there are over 400 types) but if you think you have anemia and/or someone in your family has a history of anemia you should make an appointment with your dr

Anemia is when your body cannot produce enough red blood cells because blood is not receiving enough oxygen. In order to produce oxygen the body needs iron. Anemia can be treated by taking iron suplements, or changing your diet to fit the criteria.
You can at times have weight loss, but the main symptoms of anemia are exhaustion, tiredness, dizziness, and shortness in breath.

as previously stated, yes. In addition, such things could also be cancer, hepititis, substance addiction, all sorts of things. Consult a physician immediately.
