B) Normocytic/normochromic

D) Macrocytic/normochromic
E) None of the above

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

In acute leukemia, anemia is generally normocytic or normochromic. The two prime systems of anemia categorization are morphological and aetiological. The morphological classification depends upon the outcomes of the full blood count and the blood film. Anemia can be normocytic (or normochromic), macrocytic, and microcytic. In normochromic and normocytic anemia, the size of the red blood cells and the MCHC are generally normal. These anemia types take place as a consequence of renal disease, chronic disease, and acute loss of the blood.
