    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normocytic_anemia

    Normocytic anemia is a type of anemia and is a common issue that occurs for men and women typically over 85 years old. Its prevalence increases with age, reaching 44 percent in men older than 85 years. [1] The most common type of normocytic anemia is anemia of chronic disease. [1]

  3. Non-sideropenic hypochromic anaemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-sideropenic_hypo...

    Non-sideropenic hypochromic anemia also known as Normochromic Normocytic Anemia [1] is a kind of anemia in which the red blood cells in circulation have a normal red color (normochromic) and the same size . Normocytic normochromic anemia is most commonly caused by a variety of chronic infections and systemic diseases.

    Anemia can also be classified based on the size of the red blood cells and amount of hemoglobin in each cell. [1] If the cells are small, it is called microcytic anemia; if they are large, it is called macrocytic anemia; and if they are normal sized, it is called normocytic anemia. [1]

  5. Normochromic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normochromic_anemia

    Normochromic anemia is a form of anemia in which the concentration of hemoglobin in the red blood cells is within the standard range, but there is an insufficient number of red blood cells. Conditions where this is found include aplastic , posthemorrhagic, and hemolytic anemias and anemia of chronic disease .

  6. Mean corpuscular volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_corpuscular_volume

    In patients with anemia, it is the MCV measurement that allows classification as either a microcytic anemia (MCV below normal range), normocytic anemia (MCV within normal range) or macrocytic anemia (MCV above normal range). Normocytic anemia is usually deemed so because the bone marrow has not yet responded with a change in cell volume.

  7. Anemia of prematurity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemia_of_prematurity

    Anemia of prematurity (AOP) refers to a form of anemia affecting preterm infants [1] with decreased hematocrit. [2] AOP is a normochromic, normocytic hypoproliferative anemia. The primary mechanism of AOP is a decrease in erythropoietin (EPO), a red blood cell growth factor.

    Normocytic anemia: A normocytic anemia is an anemia with a mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of 80–100. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria: D59.5: 9688: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (also known as Marchiafava-Micheli syndrome) is a rare, acquired, life-threatening blood disease, with anemia due to red blood cell destruction, red urine ...

  9. Hypochromic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochromic_anemia

    Hypochromic anemia is a generic term for any type of anemia in which the red blood cells are paler than normal. ( Hypo - refers to less , and chromic means colour .) A normal red blood cell has a biconcave disk shape and will have an area of pallor in its center when viewed microscopically.
