RBC's?
Acute blood loss
Anemia of chronic disease (CKD, Lupus, chronic inflammatory diseases, gastritis, menorrhagia,
etc)
What are the most common etiology of microcytic (MCV <80 fL) hypochromic anemia with
elevated RDW in primary care? Small cells are seen in this type of anemia due to insufficient
hemoglobin. All values decreased: HGB, HCT, RBC, MCV, MCHC **RDW is increased**
Next test is ferritin for iron stores, add lead testing in younger children

What type of anemia
decreased: HGB, HCT, MCV, MCHC
elevated RBC's
Normal RDW?
(Microcytic, hypochromic with elevated RBC's and normal RDW)
- Alpha or Beta thalassemia minor
** at risk ethnic groups for alpha thalassemia minor: Asian, African ancestry (AAA - Alpha,
Asian, African)
*** at risk ethnic groups for beta thalassemia minor: African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern
