The type of anemia that can reduce the hemaglobin level are the microcytic-hypochromic anemia and the normocytic-normochromic anemia.
Microcytic-hypochromic anemia produces small, abnormally small erythrocytes and reduced hemoglobin concentrations. However, hypochromia can occur even in cells of normal size. This type of anemia results from a variety of conditions that are caused by disorders of iron metabolism, porphyrin and heme synthesis, or globin synthesis.
Normocytic-normochromic anemia produces a destruction or depletion of normal or mature erythrocytes. Although the erythrocytes are relatively normal in size and in hemoglobin content, they are insufficient in number. This type does not share any common cause, pathologic mechanism, or morphologic characteristics and is less common than the others. The five distinct anemic conditions exemplify the diversity of this classification which are the aplastic anemia, posthemorrhafic anemia, haemolytic anemia, anemia of chronic disease and sickle cell anemia.

Does a blood test test for anemia?
A simple and common blood test used to test for anemia is CBC or the complete blood count. Technically you do not even need a CBC to just test for anemia. A simple Hemoglobin level can detect anemia. But a CBC will give your doctor some more information about the anemia if detected in your blood test. A CBC not only gives you your Hemoglobin level but it also gives you the counts of different types of cells in your blood. It will also give your doctor some more clues about possible causes of the anemia. Simply stated, anemia means a low hemoglobin level in the blood. A hemoglobin level below 8 is critical anemia and normally requires blood transfusion.
What are types of anaemia?
there are over 400 types of anemia. such as sickle cell, G6PD anemia, iron deficiency, B12 deficiency, aplastic, megaloblasic/pernicious, hemolytic, hemoglobin, Thalassemia, Excessive destructions of red blood cells and many more. 3 major types of anemias: low RBC anemias Low hemoglobin content abnormal hemoglobin
Which types of mutation causes sickle cell anemia?
No single mutation is responsible for this disease. It just happens by abnormality in the red blood cells. It affects the hemoglobin.

What is Sideroblastic Anemia named for?
Named for the Greek words for iron and germ, sideroblastic anemia is one of the principal types of iron-utilization anemia
What is a reduced hemoglobin level called?
Low red blood cell (RBC) count or low hemoglobin content are both indicators of types of anemia.With a low RBC count the causes vary, and can include sudden blood loss (as from trauma, including surgery) or an imbalance in the number of red blood cells produced by the bone marrow's reticulocytes versus the number destroyed by hemolysis (natural or disease-induced rupture of red blood cells in the body) or through gradual blood loss (i.e., menstruation in women, or bleeding from a gastric ulcer.)Low hemoglobin content, indicated by a low hematocrittest result, is often the result of iron deficiency, though some chronic diseases can also cause it.
What kinds of anemia are there?
The different types of Anemia include: . Iron Deficiency Anemia - Is causes by blood loss, or lack of iron in the diet. . Pernicious Anemia - It occurs when the body is unable to absort Vitiman B12 . Folic Acid Deficiency Anemia - It occurs when there is a lack of folic acid in the diet. . Hemolytic Anemia - It is an inherited or acquired type of anemia that causes the red blood cells to be deformed, so the body breaks down the red blood cells too fast. . Sickle Cell Anemia - Inherited disease that occurs when the red blood cells are sickle shaped. The hemoglobin doesn't work right, the shape of the red blood cells causes them to clog the blood vessels and break down easily.

There are several types of anemia. The term means without blood. It could be caused by excessive bleeding or damage to the bone marrow. Anemia is one of the most common disorders of the blood. It can be due to excessive blood loss or hemorrhage. Or deficient red blood cell production. Anemia can be classified in several ways: macrocytic anemia, normocytic anemia, microcytic anemia. Some of the more familiar ones are: pernicious anemia due to lack or low B12, iron deficiency anemia due to lack of iron, thalassemia, lead toxicity anemia, hypothyroidism, aplastic anemia, sickle cell anemia, Rh disease, and renal infection among others.
