Compare and contrast acute versus chronic blood loss and the resulting morphologic type of anemia
What will be an ideal response?
In acute blood loss, assuming that the individual has sufficient iron stores, the bone marrow is promptly able to replenish blood cells, and if the newly formed cells are normal, the resulting anemia is normocytic, normochromic. Chronic blood loss with inadequate stores of iron and continuous depletion of these stores results in a microcytic, hypochromic anemia.
