Anemia. Anemia is a medical condition that can be brought on as a symptom of pancytopenia. The situation generally involves a lack of the usual level of either hemoglobin in the patient's blood, or red blood cells (known as RBCs). It can also be a case where the hemoglobin has a lowered ability of oxygen-binding.
