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 ().
Microcytic anaemia; Microcytosis is the presence of red cells that are smaller than normal. Normal adult red cell has a diameter of 7.2 µm. Microcytes are common seen in with hypochromia in iron-deficiency anaemia, thalassaemia trait, congenital sideroblastic anaemia and sometimes in anaemia of chronic diseases.
In stage 3, anemia (reduced hemoglobin levels) is present but red blood cell appearance remains normal. [4] Changes in the appearance of red blood cells are the hallmark of stage 4; first microcytosis and then hypochromia develop. [4] Iron deficiency begins to affect tissues in stage 5, manifesting as symptoms and signs. [4]

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, and thrombosis.
