What is iron deficiency anemia? Anemia occurs when you have a level of red blood cells (RBCs) in your blood that is lower than normal. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia, and it occurs when your body doesnât have enough of the mineral iron. Your body needs iron to make a protein called hemoglobin.
