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.
Iron-deficiency anemia
microcytic hypochromic anaemia
Hypochromic refers to red blood cells that have a reduced amount of hemoglobin, resulting in a paler color. This can indicate anemia, a condition where the body does not have enough red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry sufficient oxygen to tissues.

Hypochromic shift is observed in UV VISIBLE spectroscopy. This is the shift where the intensity of the absorption maxima is decreased
A microcyte is a red blood cell that is smaller than normal, while a macrocyte is a red blood cell that is larger than normal. Microcytes can be seen in conditions like iron deficiency anemia, whereas macrocytes are associated with conditions like megaloblastic anemia.
Hyperechromic shift refers to an increase in staining intensity or color, often seen in abnormal cells with increased DNA content. Hypochromic shift, on the other hand, refers to a decrease in staining intensity, typically seen in cells with reduced hemoglobin content, such as in certain types of anemia.

Hypodermic, hypochondria, hypothryroidism, hypoandrogenism, hypoestrogenic, hypochromic are medical terms with the prefix hypo-.
Hypochromia (as in hypochromic anemia) is the medical term meaning deficiency in hemoglobin.
i have been having iron tabs for the last 10 months and have been told i have microcytosis what is the treatment and how has this problem happened
