'Normo' means normal 'cytic' means cell size 'chromic' means color Thus, normocytic normochromic red cells are normal sized, normal colored red cells.

The size and color of cells is often measured when evaluating anemia.

But just because the blood appears normal, does not mean there is not a problem. For instance anemia due to acute blood loss will be normocytic normochromic.

What is the cure for anisocytosis?

Anisocytosis itself isn't a disease, so you will have a hard time looking for a cure. It means that there are red cells that vary in size, and it is rarely caused by elevated levels of hemoglobin within red cells. Many conditions can result in anisocytosis, so to correct it you will need to get to the root of the problem.


What does Normocytic Normochrominc blood picture?

A normocytic normochromic blood picture refers to a type of red blood cell (RBC) appearance in a complete blood count (CBC) where the RBCs are of normal size (normocytic) and have a normal concentration of hemoglobin (normochromic). This finding typically indicates that the bone marrow is producing red blood cells adequately, but it can be seen in various conditions, such as anemia of chronic disease, acute blood loss, or renal failure. It suggests that while the quantity and quality of RBCs are normal, other factors may be affecting overall blood health.
