HUS is most commonly associated with normocytic, normochromic anemia, which means the red blood cells are of normal size and have a normal amount of hemoglobin. This type of anemia is typically seen in response to acute blood loss or hemolysis. Microcytic, hypochromic anemia (A) is typically seen in iron deficiency anemia, while macrocytic, normochromic anemia (B) is associated with vitamin B12 or folate deficiencies. Microcytic, normochromic anemia (D) is seen in thalassemias and other hemoglobinopathies.
