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]
The anemia of CKD is normochromic-normocytic, with an Hct of 20 to 30% (35 to 40% in patients with polycystic kidney disease ).[merckmanuals.com]
Anemia is characteristic of moderate to advanced CKD ( stage 3).[merckmanuals.com]

Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage
Abstract A 77-year-old patient with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma sustained a life-threatening, upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage 1 month after placement of a biliary Wallstent. Radiographic and endoscopic studies revealed a choledocho-arterio-enteric fistula caused by erosion of the stent through the[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Background Rituximab is a selective, B‐cell depleting, biologic agent for treating refractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is a chimeric monoclonal antibody targeted against CD 20 that is promoted as therapy for patients who fail to respond to other biologics. There is[…][doi.org]
Glucagonoma
Similar catabolic effects with respect to protein metabolism probably cause the normochromic, normocytic anemia and hypoaminoacidemia that often are seen at initial presentation[dermaamin.com]
The serum glucose was 129 mg/dl (normal range, 70–110 mg/dl), hemoglobin was 8.4 g/dl (normal range, 12–16 g/dl) and there was a normochromic, normocytic anemia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Additionally, normochromic and normocytic anemia and weight loss are frequently diagnosed in glucagonoma patients.[symptoma.com]
Multiple Myeloma
[…] typically normochromic/normocytic renal failure proteinuria hypercalcemia Presentation may also be with a complication, including: pathological fracture vertebral compression[radiopaedia.org]
normocytic anemia with a hemoglobin value 10 g/dL (or a hemoglobin value 2 g/dL below the lower limit of normal), and bone lesions (lytic lesions, severe osteopenia, or pathologic[doi.org]
[…] multiple myeloma is varied, and includes 1-2,7 : bone pain initially intermittent, but becomes constant worse with activity/weight bearing, and thus is worse during the day anemia[radiopaedia.org]
Anemia of Infection
Abstract A major factor in the anemia of infection, inflammation, and malignancy is a relative failure of the bone marrow to increase erythropoiesis in response to a shortened red cell survival. The possible causes for this diminished marrow response are: (a) a reduced production of erythropoietin, or, (b) impaired[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
