Hello, everyone! I am hoping someone can help me with a question about anemia. I am trying to find out what the 6 different types of anemia are and what the differences between them are. I have done some research, but I'm still having trouble understanding some of the finer details. Can anyone provide any insight or explain the different types of anemia in more detail? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
