Microcytic, hypochromic anemia can be caused by lead toxicity, chronic disease , thalassemia and hemoglobin E disorder " Iron deficiency is the most common" Ferritin blood levels are a measure of the body's stores of iron and are usually low in iron deficiency anemia. Iron supplementation in the form of FSFA will suffice. Regards
