Preferred Label : anemia, hypochromic;
MeSH definition : Anemia characterized by a decrease in the ratio of the weight of hemoglobin to the
volume of the erythrocyte, i.e., the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration is
less than normal. The individual cells contain less hemoglobin than they could have
under optimal conditions. Hypochromic anemia may be caused by iron deficiency from
a low iron intake, diminished iron absorption, or excessive iron loss. It can also
be caused by infections or other diseases, therapeutic drugs, lead poisoning, and
other conditions. (Stedman, 25th ed; from Miale, Laboratory Medicine: Hematology,
6th ed, p393);
