Microcytic Anemia
| Overview |
|---|
- Microcytic Anemias are a categorization of anemias defined as those anemias which yield smaller-than-normal erythrocytes (i.e. Low Mean Corpuscular Volume or MCV). In general, a relatively limited set of pathophysiological processes yield microcytic anemias and thus measurement of the MCV can significantly narrow the possible differential diagnosis for a patient's anemia.
