Chronic Kidney Insufficiency
Hyperphosphatemia and hyperparathyroidism are common findings, whereas a complete blood count (CBC) reveals anemia with normochromic and normocytic characteristics, thus excluding [symptoma.com]
Anemia Normochromic normocytic anemia principally develops from decreased renal synthesis of erythropoietin, the hormone responsible for bone marrow stimulation for red blood [emedicine.medscape.com]
Rheumatoid Arthritis
A normochromic (or slightly hypochromic)-normocytic anemia occurs in 80%; Hb is usually 10 g/dL. [merckmanuals.com]
The red cells are of normal size and color (normocytic and normochromic). [en.wikipedia.org]
The chronic inflammation caused by RA leads to raised hepcidin levels, leading to anemia of chronic disease where iron is poorly absorbed and also sequestered into macrophages [en.wikipedia.org]
Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage
BACKGROUND & AIMS: We aimed to determine the rate of hospital readmission within 30 days of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and its impact on mortality, morbidity, and health care use in the United States. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study using the Agency for Healthcare Research and[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Triage of patients with acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (UGIH) has traditionally required urgent upper endoscopy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of artificial neural network for nonendoscopic triage. METHODS: A cohort of 387 patients was used to train (n 194) and[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Anemia is present in 80% of patients, usually normocytic-normochromic anemia with formation of rouleaux, which are clusters of 3 to 12 red blood cells that occur in stacks [merckmanuals.com]
The anemia in multiple myeloma is normocytic normochromic (normal mean corpuscular volume "MCV"). Neurological symptoms include neuropathy as well as radiculopathy. [youtube.com]
