Normocytic anemia is the most common type of anemia.
It is a blood problem. It means you have normal-sized red blood cells, but you have a low number of them. The presence of normal-sized red blood cells tells your doctor that you have normocytic anemia rather than another kind of anemia. For example, when anemia is caused by having too little iron in your diet, you have small red blood cells. Congenital normocytic anemia is caused by the breaking up of red blood cells.
