Multiple drugs are used to treat anemia since there are multiple causes of anemia, so diagnosis of cause is paramount in instituting therapy. As a corollary the mechanisms of drug actions will vary according to cause of the anemia. See Chapter 9, The Merck Manuel 17th ed. for an exhaustive treatise of the subject. Also see Wintrobe's Diseases of the blood any recent edition.
