Can someone tell why there is NCNC anema in hypothyroidism? Son64, please explain! :?:

Also I don't understand why not "emaciation and cachexia"?

Thanks dimps for the question; but quite confuse on it! :roll:

anemia in hypothyroidism is considered to be an adaptation to the lower basal metabolic rate.
thyroid hormone either directly or indirectly thru erythropoietin stimulates the colony stimulating factors.
