Anemia is a general term for different conditions that can affect a red blood cell's ability to carry oxygen. A common type of anemia can be caused from low iron, resulting in a lack of hemoglobin, which would directly limit the oxygen-carrying capacity.
Hypokalemia is a condition in which blood potassium levels are low; this does not influence the oxygen carrying capacity.
Hypertension is the condition of having high blood pressure.
Leukemia is a type of cancer which usually involves the white blood cells and bone marrow.
