Microcytic Anemia is a disfunction of hemoglobin--agreed. Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD) can be considered to be both microcytic and normocytim (low reticulocyte count). However, its more important to understand why that is the case.
During a chronic inflammation (microbial or RA)... the microbes love to iron, so your body reacts by locking all of its iron within the macrophage and loosing the key (analogy used by Edward F. Goljan, MD)...
the good news is that the microbe does not get any iron
the bad news is that your body doesn't get iron either, which reduces the amount of heme (no iron, no heme), which reduces the amount of hemoglobin. hence, microcytic anemia.
Anemia of Chronic Diseases (lab values)
MCV : low
Serum Iron : low
TIBC : low
% Saturation : low
Serum Ferritin : HIGH
hope this helps... my source has been Kaplan and Goljan
I THINK SIDEROBLASTIC ANEMIA CELLS SHOULD BE MOSTLY NORMOCYTIC ,occasionally is slightly MACROCYTIC,BUT NOT MICROCYTIC AT ALL!!
AND I THINK IN ANY KIND OF SITUATION WHEREBY SERUM IRON IS SLOW ,USUALLY IS ACCOMPANIED BY HIGH TIBC AND NOT LOW!!,
thanx for ur notes !!

I have a modified mnemonic than the on in FA....
For Diseases asscoiated with Neoplasms
Down's Syndrome------------ Acute Lymphoblastic Anemia
Instead of "We will ALL go DOWN together".....
If any of you remember "Ring Around the Rosies".....pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes,
"We ALL fall DOWN".
Much more simple, don't you think? (ok maybe its not the greatest...

i have made up a math formula to memorise them..i know sounds stupid first but in time it is very helpfull i think...
for important translocations
1. the letter T= is associated with number 14
3.F is written like T so =14
4.M = 11 (if you put the two 1's very close it will look like an "M")
5.W=means double of everything (double of 1:11, double of 11:22)
6.K= 9(remember the dog :K-9)
7.B=8 (they are written very simmilarly)
8.14th cromosome has the heavy chain of Ig
according to those:
-Burkiitt(8urkitt) : t(8 14) c-myc /IgH
=as you know burkitt makes very big masses (big man) but is associated with c-myc think of myc as micro form of smt..n
(big burkitt X micro) ***
-T cell ALL : is also has t(8 14) like (burkitt Big TALL man)
-KML (K-9ML):t(9 22) abl/bcr
=remember the alphabet :"abc......klm..." but m and l changes places so this is an odd alphabet..the oncogens abl and bcr reminds me the alphabet too.. so KML is abl/bcr...m is supposed to be 11 but here is an exceptionm means 22 because kml is odd
-Ewing: it has w!double of everything t(11 22)
-MANTLE : m is 11 and t is 14 t(11 14) cyclin d (think of a recycled mantle)
-AML: (A is written like and 4 M is 11) so it is t(4 11) (but not for ALL!!!)
-Follicular B cell lymhhoma: f=14 B=8 t(14 8) IgH/bcl-2
for myc
N-myc and L-myc not translocation!!! amplification
N:Neuroblastome
L:small cell Lung ca
long and complicated..but worked for me..
