Abstract : Anemia is a common manifestation and has to be considered more often as a symptom of an underlying acquired or hereditary disease rather than a disease by itself. The different causes of anemia cover almost the whole spectrum of human diseases. Often the question arises if anemia is symptom of an already known disease or if other reasons should be investigated. We will present in this paper general considerations of the assessment of anemia and the differential diagnosis and focus on a possible initial approach to the patient with anemia.
