Normocytic: In normocytic anemia, there aren’t enough red cells to meet your body’s needs. Normocytic anemia tends to accompany certain chronic diseases. Macrocytic: Macrocytic anemia.

Microcytic anemia symptoms may include: Fatigue and weakness. Dizziness. Skin that's more pale than usual. Fast heartbeat. Shortness of breath. Dry skin. Skin that bruises easily.

MCHC Results and What They Mean. A low MCHC (hypochromia) may mean that there is a lower concentration of hemoglobin within a given volume of red blood cells, and, hence, a reduced capacity to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. A high MCHC (hyperchromia) can mean that there is a higher hemoglobin concentration in red blood cells than usual.

XLSA is characterized by mild hypochromic, microcytic sideroblastic anemia in combination with systemic iron overload. 3 Elevated red cell distribution width has been described in female carriers of the mutation and is ascribed to the presence of 2 erythrocyte populations. 82 Phenotypic expression of XLSA is highly variable, even in patients.
