A member asked:
How much blood needs to be lost to become anemic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the rate : Of blood loss and nutritional status. Body can adapt to slow blood loss, as women do during their reproductive years. By the time anemia develops due to slow blood loss, the body has lost all of its iron stores. Acute blood loss of about 20% of blood volume (about one liter) will cause anemia in the short term.
