Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemolytic anemias are characterized by the destruction of red blood cells. The morphological classification of hemolytic anemias is based on the size and color of red blood cells. Normochromic, normocytic hemolytic anemia is the most common type and is characterized by normal-sized red blood cells with a normal color (hemoglobin content). Macrocytic, normochromic anemia is not typically seen in hemolytic anemias, as it is more commonly associated with vitamin deficiencies and bone marrow disorders. Microcytic, hypochromic anemia is associated with iron deficiencies, and microcytic, normochromic anemia is typically associated with thalassemia.
