Learn about the classification of anemias according to the size (MCV) and hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) of RBCs, as well as based on bone marrow (BM) response. Explore distinctions between normocytic, macrocytic, and microcytic anemias, normochromic and hypochromic types, as well as regenerative and non-regenerative categories.
