Types of Anemia -. Normocytic - refers to size of RBC - normal-sized red blood cells, but less number of them. Normochromic - refers to hemoglobin concentration (color) - concentration of hemoglobin in the red blood cells is within the standard range. But you have less numbers of red blood cells.
The first step in evaluation of normocytic anemia is determination of the reticulocyte count (Figure 2) to distinguish cases of increased RBC turnover, such as hemolysis, from bone marrow disorders. The low reticulocyte count suggests bone marrow hypofunction.
