Normocytic anemia
Normocytic anemia is a type of anemia in which the size of the red blood cells is normal. It is different from other types of anemia such as microcytic anemia and macrocytic anemia, where the size of the red blood cells is either smaller or larger than normal, respectively.
Causes
Normocytic anemia can be caused by a variety of conditions, including chronic disease, kidney disease, and bone marrow disorders. It can also be caused by acute blood loss or hemolysis, which is the destruction of red blood cells.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of normocytic anemia is typically made through a complete blood count (CBC), which measures the number and size of the red blood cells. Other tests may be needed to determine the underlying cause of the anemia.
Treatment
The treatment of normocytic anemia depends on the underlying cause. For example, if the anemia is due to chronic disease, treatment may involve managing the underlying condition. If the anemia is due to acute blood loss, treatment may involve blood transfusions.
