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 or anaemia (British English) is a blood disorder in which the blood has a reduced ability to carry oxygen.This can be due to a lower than normal number of red blood cells, a reduction in the amount of hemoglobin available for oxygen transport, or abnormalities in hemoglobin that impair its function.

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 ...
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.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now classifies eggs as a “healthy, nutrient-dense" food, according to a new proposed rule. Registered dietitians react to the change.
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.
There's no specific definition of "micro-walking," but some research has shown it's possible to get a health boost from walking as little as 10-30 seconds. And it's especially beneficial for ...
