you have hypochromic microcytic anemia. now there are few causes of that. the most common cause is iron deficiency, and other is thalassemia minor. chronic disease may leads to hypochromic microcytic anemia and some rare causes is sederoblastic anemia. but most of the times its common thing like iron deficiency and some times thalassemia minor. so go for s.ferritine and s. iron and HPLC. than take treatment accordingly.you are on perfect way.
