* Cell color (blood cells): (generally refers to the staining characteristics which reflects the hemoglobin concentration. Terms that describe hemoglobin content end with "chromic".) ~ normochromic (sufficient or normal amounts of hemoglobin) ~ hyperchromic (containing an unusually high concentration of hemoglobin in its cytoplasm) ~ hypochromic (containing an abnormally low concentration of hemoglobin)

Does Normocytic normochromic blood picture affect you in conceiving?

Normocytic and normochromic blood is normal.


What is Anisocytosis Normocytic Normochromic?

Anisocytosis normocytic normochromic means there is a variation in the size of red blood cells in a person. This can be caused by a folate or iron deficiency.


What does Normocytic Normochromic Blood Picture with relative Eosinophilia means?

Normocytic normochromic blood picture indicates that red blood cells are of normal size and color. Relative eosinophilia means there is an increase in eosinophils compared to other types of white blood cells. This can be seen in allergic reactions, parasitic infections, or certain types of blood disorders.


What is normochromic RBC with mild anisocytosis?

'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 are the signs of hematopoiesis?

Your hemoglobin percentage is okay. You red blood cells are normocytic and normochromic. When blood forming system or hematopoeitic system over work, you can reticulocytes in the circulation. They are the red blood cells with the nucleus.


Is there any threat to life in normocytic normochromic anaemia?

It's not possible to answer without further information. If you lose half your blood volume, you will have life-threatening normocytic, normochromic anemia. Ask your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.


What is meant by normochromic?

The term literally means "normal color". It traditionally refers to normal hemoglobin content in the blood.


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.


A red blood cell that contains normal amounts of hemoglobin is called?

A red blood cell that contains normal amounts of hemoglobin is called a normocytic red blood cell.


What is a condition in which a reduction in the quantity of either red blood cells or hemoglobin exists?

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.


What is meant by unremarkable peripheral blood film morphology?

the film is well spread and stained and suitable for reporting. The red blood cells are normochromic normocytic and have no parasites. The white cell count numbers are within reference range for age and and have normal morphology. There are no abnormal storage cell, foreign cells or parasites. The background stain is light. It is better top describe the significant positive or negative finding though per presented clinical history other than report a smear as unremarkable as this may be inexact and subjective
