- How best can we then differentiate microcytic anaemia of chronic disease from genuine iron deficiency when ferritin values are normal?
- Physical assessment included laboratory examinations that revealed severe microcytic, hypochromic anemia, which prompted obtaining urine and stool samples for occult blood.
