Overview
Common causes of anemia of prematurity include preterm birth, blood loss during phlebotomy, increased destruction of red blood cells, and decreased production of red blood cells. Iron, vitamin B6, vitamin E, and folate deficiencies are less common causes of anemia of prematurity.
Causes
Life threatening causes
- There are no life-threatening causes of anemia of prematurity.

- Rh-incompatibility
- Hemolytic anemias
- Decreased production of RBC
- Decreased erythropoietin production
Less common causes
