Abstract:
Anaemia is the term for low red blood cell numbers or a deficiency of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. This results in a reduction of oxygen-carrying capacity of blood to various tissues in the body, & lead to symptoms like weakness and exhaustion. There are various forms of anaemia, and they all have unique reasons. The main purpose of the review is to outline the types of anaemia and highlight the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools in detection. There is high accuracy in identifying anaemia by using AI and ML tools that include analyzing the laboratory parameters and medical imaging. There are various Machine learning tools to identify anaemia in the past and treat anaemia by using AI tools. Promising approaches for effective anemia identification and treatment are offered by AI-assisted methods. By incorporating these advancements into clinical practice, the burden of undetected or improperly managed anemia could be lessened, and patient outcomes could be improved.

Developmental Phases of Hematopoiesis
Initially, HSCs are formed in the embryonic yolk sac, a critical site for early blood cell production. These stem cells subsequently migrate to other...
Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
On the other...
Erythropoiesis
Factors Affecting Erythropoiesis
Several factors influence the erythrocyte production rate, with tissue oxygen level being among the most critical. Intense exercise or high altitudes can cause tissue hypoxia, which triggers the kidneys to release more erythropoietin (EPO) into the bloodstream.
EPO then...
