* (pathology) anemia
- Anemia is a medical condition where a person suffers a deficiency in red blood cells. The outcome is a reduced availability of blood to transfer oxygen to the tissues of the body. Before discovering that Spock had been split into two separate beings (one Vulcan, one Human), Dr. Leonard McCoy believed that Spock was suffering from anemia and demanded to perform a medical examination on Spock at once. (TOS short story: "Ni Var") Many QuchHa' Klingons suffered from anemia, including the Albino. (ST novel: Excelsior: Forged in Fire)
- Anemia is a shortage of red blood cells and/or the amount of hemoglobin in them. Anemia has many causes, one of the most common being an inadequate intake of iron in the diet.
- Anemia was a blood disorder. In 2268, Doctor Leonard McCoy commented that Hanar was a bit anemic, and blamed it on his consumption of food in pills rather than solid food. He gave the Kelvan a shot of what he deemed a "high-potency vitamin concentrate" and recommended he have three like it a day for the next few days. In reality, it was part of a ruse intended to distract Hanar and the rest of the Kelvans in order to seize the devices which had turned crew members of the USS Enterprise into solid blocks. (TOS: "By Any Other Name" )
- Anemia describes one of a number of diseases that leads to a shortage of red blood cells in the blood. It has a number of causes, which fall into four general categories: - Shortage of material to create new blood cells (e.g. iron deficiency). - A malfunction of the bone marrow that creates red blood cells, such as is common with several forms of cancer (e.g. aplastic anemia). - The destruction of red blood cells by a foreign material. - Genetic conditions that causes the cells to no longer be able to carry oxygen (e.g. sickle-cell anemia)

Many forms of anemia can be treated by treating or managing the underlying condition. However, when red blood cell counts fall below a certain level, a blood transfusion is usually required to replenish the level of red blood cells in a patient.
