Study Notes
Anaemia of Chronic Disorders
- Common alongside chronic inflammatory and malignant diseases; a major contributor to global anaemia cases.
- Accounts for around two-thirds of anaemia occurrences worldwide, alongside iron deficiency.
- Characteristic features include:
- Normochromic: normal color of red blood cells (RBCs).
- Normocytic: RBCs are generally normal in size.
- Mildly hypochromic: some RBCs may exhibit reduced color intensity.
- Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) is typically within normal range and rarely elevated.
