===Most common causes===
* [[Growth]]
* [[Pregnancy]]
* [[Malnutrition]]
* [[Malabsorption]]
* Blood loss
* [[Chronic renal disease|Chronic Kidney disease]]
* Anemia of [[Chronic (medical)|chronic disease]]
* [[Myeloproliferative neoplasm|Myeloproliferative]] disorders
 
=== Less common causes ===
* Erythrpoetin/eryhtropoetin stimulating drugs

* [[Pramipexole]]
* [[Trientine]]
 
=== Genetic cause ===
* IRIDA- iron referactory iron deficiency anemia due to TMPRSS6 mutation
* SLC11A-2 mutation
* Iron-refractory iron deficiency anaemia  •
* Divalent metal transporter deficiency anaemia,  •
* Fanconianaemia 
* Pyruvate kinase deficiency
 
====Pathological====


==Overview==
=====Blood Loss=====
* [[Menstruation]]
* Gastrointestinal tract (Bleeding from the [[gastrointestinal tract]] ([[ulcers]], [[hemorrhoid]]s, [[Esophageal varices]], The use of [[aspirin]], [[ibuprofen]], or [[Arthritis (patient information)|arthritis]] medicines for a long time, Cancer in the esophagus, stomach, or colon)
** Food sensitivity
** [[Hookworm]]s
* [[Genitourinary tract]]
* [[Respiratory tract]] (Rarely [[laryngological]] bleeding or from the [[respiratory tract]])
* Blood donation
 
===Inadequate Iron Absorption===
* Dietary deficiency
* Impaired absorption ([[Celiac disease]], [[Crohn's disease]])
** Intestinal [[malabsorption]]
** [[Gastric surgery]]
** [[Hypochorhydria]]
*Taking too many antacids that contain [[calcium]]


==Causes==
* Chronic bleeding ([[hemoglobin]] contains iron)
** Excessive [[menstrual bleeding]]
** Non-menstrual [[bleeding]]
** Bleeding from the [[gastrointestinal tract]] ([[ulcers]], [[hemorrhoid]]s, [[Esophageal varices]], The use of [[aspirin]], [[ibuprofen]], or [[Arthritis (patient information)|arthritis]] medicines for a long time, Cancer in the esophagus, stomach, or colon etc.)
** Rarely [[laryngological]] bleeding or from the [[respiratory tract]]
* Inadequate intake (special diets low in dietary iron)
* Substances (in diet or drugs) interfering with iron absorption
* [[Malabsorption]] syndromes
:*[[Celiac disease]]
:*[[Crohn's disease]]
:*[[Gastric bypass surgery]]
:*Taking too many antacids that contain [[calcium]]
*You may not get enough iron in the diet if:
:*You are a strict vegetarian
:*You are an older adult and do not eat a full diet
