Microcytic Anemia Iron deficiency, usually due to
malabsorption/occult blood loss, or lead
poisoning. MCV <80
Normocytic Anemia Due to hemorrhage or chronic disease. Aplastic
anemia. MCV 80-92
Macrocytic Anemia Due to folate or vitamin B12 (cobalamin) deficiency
(megaloblastic anemia)/pernicious anemia/liver
diseases

Serum Ferritin Tests for iron stores. As serum ferritin falls, TIBC
rises, and serum iron levels will eventually fall.
Anemia of Chronic Disease Normocytic anemia with ↓ serum iron, ↓ TIBC, and
normal iron stores. Treat with epoetin and give an
iron supplement
Schistocytes Associated with hemolytic uremia syndrome
Pernicious Anemia Macrocytic anemia caused by vitamin B12
deficiency. B12 is essential to maturation of
erythrocytes - low levels will cause the RBC to
expand. PPIs and histamine2 blockers can cause
this.
Increased Homocysteine & Indicates B12 deficiency
Methylmalonic Acid Level
Increased Homocysteine Levels Folate deficiency
Spherocytes Appear as spheres, lack central pallor, smaller
diameter, indicate immune-mediated process - can
be seen after blood transfusion
Aplastic Anemia Failure of bone marrow to produce red blood cells
Low Ferritin Iron Deficiency Anemia
