Normocytic Anemia

Normocytic anemia is a condition where the body has fewer red blood cells than normal, but these cells are of a typical size and shape. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, so with fewer cells, tissues may not get enough oxygen, leading to symptoms like fatigue or weakness. This type of anemia often results from chronic illnesses, blood loss, or bone marrow problems, rather than issues with red blood cell production or size. Diagnosing involves blood tests, and treatment depends on identifying and addressing the underlying cause.
