Red blood cell (RBC) disorders and anemias are a group of conditions that affect the production, function, or quality of red blood cells. These conditions can lead to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues, causing symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and pallor. Anemia specifically refers to a decrease in the number or quality of red blood cells, resulting in decreased oxygen-carrying capacity.
