What is microcytic hypochromic anemia?
Microcytic hypochromic anemia is a condition where the red blood cell count and hemoglobin levels are low (hence anemia), with small red blood cells (microcytic), and red blood cells that stain less intensely than normal (hypochromic). The most common cause is iron deficiency. Low levels of iron in the body.
What are microcytic?
platelets that are smaller in size than your average platelets... Can be associated with aplastic anemia.

How many types of anemia are here?
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.
Why iron binding increases in microcytic hypochromic anemia?
AS THERE IS IRON DEFICIENCY IN THIS TYPE OF ANEMIA,LOW SERUM IRON SO THERE WILL BE INCREASE IN BINDING OF IRON ITS A COMPENSATORY PROCESS .
What is the diagnosis of a patient with raised ESR and hypochromic microcytic anemia and thrombocytosis and neutrophilia and pleural effusion?
Lupus erythematosus systemicus
What are types of anemia that reduce hemoglobin level?
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.
