This profile includes CBC, Iron studies, StFR, Ferritin.
Microcytic anemia is a type of anemia characterized by the presence of small red blood cells (RBCs), which are called microcytes. The term "microcytic" refers to the size of the RBCs, which are smaller than normal. Hypochromic refers to the color of the RBCs, which are paler than normal.
A microcytic hypochromic anemia profile typically includes a complete blood count (CBC) test, as well as tests to measure the levels of iron, ferritin, and transferrin in the blood.
Iron-deficiency anemia is a common cause of microcytic hypochromic anemia. When iron levels are low, the body cannot produce enough hemoglobin, a protein in RBCs that carries oxygen to the body's tissues. This results in less oxygen getting to the body's cells, which can cause fatigue, weakness, and other symptoms. Other common causes include genetic disorder such as Thalassemia, chronic disease, inflammatory conditions, and chronic bleeding.
If the tests reveal a Microcytic Hypochromic Anemia, a medical professional will typically recommend further investigation to determine the underlying cause. Treatment will depend on the cause, but may include iron supplements, medications to stop bleeding and/or bone marrow examination.
