Another term for low hematocrit is anemia. Causes of low hematocrit, or anemia, include: 1  Bleeding (ulcers, trauma, colon cancer, internal bleeding) 2  Destruction of red blood cells (sickle cell anemia, enlarged spleen)  Decreased production of red blood cells (bone marrow supression, cancer, drugs)
