Hi
Welcome to HealthCareMagic
Hypochromia means Red blood cells have less colour when examined under microscope.Microcytic means red blood cell is small in size as compared to normal red blood cells.Now most common cause of microcytic hypochromic anemia is iron deficiency which can be treated with supplementation of iron along with having a diet rich in Iron like green leafy vegetables.Other causes of anemia needs to be ruled out depending upon history and physical examination.
