  • Title: Microcytic hypochromic anemias.
    Author: McCurdy PR.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1977 Jun; 61(6):147-51. PubMed ID: 866282.
    Abstract:
    Iron deficiency, by far the most common cause of microcytic anemia, may be traced to abnormal bleeding, rapid growth, or rarely, inadequate diet. A search for the source of abnormal bleeding is particularly important because it may lead to detection of an ulcer or cancer. Orally administered iron supplements usually are effective; parenteral therapy is rarely needed.
