Normochromic Normocytic Anemia - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf

A normocytic normochromic anemia is a type of anemia in which the red blood cells are of normal size and the amount of hemoglobin in them is normal. The color of the blood is normal, too, because the amount of iron in the hemoglobin is normal. There are many different causes of normocytic normochromic anemia.

According to ICD-10-CM guidelines, the appropriate code for the malignancy is sequenced as the principal (or first-listed) diagnosis, followed by the appropriate code for the anemia. Example: Mr. Doe is admitted due to anemia secondary to his prostate cancer, for which he is undergoing oral chemotherapy. Patient has PMH of COPD, CKD III, HTN.

Anemia can be classified according to mean corpuscular volume (MCV), a measure of the average volume of RBCs in a specimen. Low MCV indicates microcytic, normal MCV indicates normocytic, and high MCV indicates macrocytic. Anemia is generally defined as hemoglobin of less than 13.0 g/dL in men and less than 12.0 g/dL in premenopausal women

Anemia definitions — Anemia is defined for patient care as a reduction in one or more of the major red blood cell (RBC) measurements obtained as a part of the complete blood count (CBC): hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, or RBC count.

Normocytic anemia is a blood problem. It means you have normal-sized red blood cells, but you have a low number of them. The presence of normal-sized red blood cells tells your doctor that you.
