Hypochromic cells are often associated with various forms of anemia, especially iron-deficiency anemia. Common causes include:
Iron deficiency: Lack of adequate iron impairs hemoglobin synthesis. Thalassemia: Genetic disorders affecting hemoglobin production. Chronic disease: Conditions like chronic kidney disease can interfere with hemoglobin synthesis. Lead poisoning: Interferes with various enzymatic processes necessary for hemoglobin production.
