  1. Hypochromic anemia

    Hypochromic anemia is a generic term for any type of anemia in which the red blood cells erythrocytes are paler than normal. Hypo refers to less , and chromic means color . A normal red blood cell will have an area of pallor in the center of it in hypochromic cells, this area of central pallor is increased. This decrease in redness is due to a disproportionate reduction of red cell hemoglobin the pigment that imparts the red color in proportion to the volume of the cell. In many cases, the red blood cells will also be small microcytic , leading to substantial overlap with the category of microcytic anemia . The most common causes of this kind of anemia are iron deficiency and thalassemia . Hypochromic anemia was historically known as chlorosis or green sickness for the distinct skin tinge sometimes present in patients, in addition to more general symptoms such as a lack of energy, shortness of breath, dyspepsia , headache s, a capricious or scanty appetite and amenorrhoea amenorrhea . Historical understanding In 1554, German physician Johannes Lange described the condition as peculiar to virgins . He prescribed that sufferers should live with men and copulate . If they conceive, they will recover. The name chlorosis was coined in 1615 by Montpellier professor of medicine Jean Varandal from the word Chloris Greek meaning greenish yellow, pale green, pale, pallid or fresh . Both Lange and Varande claimed Hippocrates as a reference. In addition to green sickness , the condition ... W.
