If laboratory findings show that a patient has low hemoglobin and low hematocrit levels, the anemia may have resulted from any the following:

- Blood loss

- Inadequate erythrocyte (Red blood cell) production

- Abnormal erythrocyte production

- Hemolysis (The destruction of normally formed erythrocytes)
