decreased production (hypoproliferation), increased destruction, ineffect production (like can't get out of marrow - important for differentiating from other types), acute blood loss, redistribution (like a big spleen - i feel this IS a cause of anemia and should be listed separately even though other anemias also have splenomegaly). -Tom Kelly (Talk) 19:25, 11 February 2007 (CST)

i just thought these categories should be the == == with the underlines in the article -Tom Kelly (Talk) 22:42, 12 February 2007 (CST)

We should redact and augment the Wikipedia article. I have started doing this, but anemia's a big topic. I think each heading should have a brief overview of each category, but that each category should have its own entry.User:Michael Benjamin (Talk) 11 February 2007
