What are Hypochromic and Microcytic Red Blood Cells?
Hypochromic and microcytic red blood cells are terms used to describe specific abnormalities in the appearance of red blood cells (RBCs) under a microscope. Hypochromic refers to RBCs that have reduced hemoglobin content, making them appear paler than normal. Microcytic refers to RBCs that are smaller in size compared to normal.
