The microcytic-hypochromic anemias, which include iron deficiency anemia (IDA), are characterized by erythrocytes that are abnormally small (microcytic) and contain abnormally reduced amounts of hemoglobin (hypochromic). Folic acid and pernicious anemias are megaloblastic. Hemolytic anemia consists of normal red blood cells that are destroyed more frequently than normal.
