Normocytic Anemia Basics (Heme/Onc) - USMLE Step 1

Hey Everyone!
Thank you for watching our video about medical school! If you enjoyed our medical school videos, please leave a comment below, like our videos, and please SUBSCRIBE to the channel!
About Us:
Mad Medicine was started to talk about many aspects of medicine, from medical school and premed, to nursing, PA, NP and much, much more. On our channel, we sit down and talk about relevant medical topics, issues that many medical professionals are facing, ways to be successful through your education and career, and (again) much, much more.
We started this channel as medical students in medical school in order to help premeds get into the medical schools of their choice. Whether you want to got to medical school in Harvard, or to a local medical school, we try to provide you with the best video content that will help you achieve your goal. Our medical school trips to become a medical student have to pertain to questions such as, "Do you need research for medical school?", "Is Clinical Experience required for medical school" and much much more. Along with medical school tips and tricks, we also plan to provide you guys with videos that have to do with medical school requirements, medical school rankings, how to be a medical student, as well as fun (yet informative) sessions. Who knows, maybe we will even do medical school and medical student vlogs one day!
We are always looking for ways to grow our channel so if you ever have any ideas or want us to talk about specific topics, or heck, even if you have a guest you want us to talk to, leave a comment below! Thank you for the support!

So, in extravscular hemolysis, we would also expect splenomegaly which is also a distinguishing feature from intravascular hemolysis. Right?

Is it curable... ???

Hi thanks for the video. I have a question, due to underproduction, say bone marrow failure in acute leukemias, would it be correct to say that it is normocytic because there is only less production of red blood cells and not because of any hemoglobin defects? Does this mean that the hemoglobin count in acute leukemia is normal then? Because wouldn't low hemoglobin cause microcytic anemia instead? Hope you can help, thank you.

[@muhammadfahad8809]

yes it can be said. if you talk about acute case then there is no synthesis of new rbc ( hence no chance of new rbc with less hemoglobin in it, so no microcytic cell) as rbc production is completely stopped. The only cells present in blood are those which are synthesized before acute disease occured. Those are normocytic.
