NORMOCHROMIC NORMOCYTIC ANEMIA

Course overview

NORMOCYTIC NORMOCHROMIC ANEMIA IS THE TYPE OF ANEMIA IN WHICH THE CIRCULATING RED BLOOD CELLS (RBCS) ARE THE SAME SIZE (NORMOCYTIC) AND HAVE A NORMAL RED COLOR (NORMOCHROMIC). MOST OF THE NORMOCHROMIC, NORMOCYTIC ANEMIAS ARE A CONSEQUENCE OF OTHER DISEASES; A MINORITY REFLECTS A PRIMARY DISORDER OF THE BLOOD. MANAGEMENT DEPENDS PRIMARILY ON TREATING THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF ANEMIA. THIS ACTIVITY WILL FOCUS ON THE ROLE OF THE INTERPROFESSIONAL TEAM IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF NORMOCYTIC NORMOCHROMIC ANEMIA.
