In microcytic anemia, the red blood cells (erythrocytes) are usually also hypochromic, meaning that the red blood cells are paler than usual.

Clearly such disturbances are involved in the production of iron deficiency resulting in certain types of hypochromic anemia.

George R. Minot - Nobel Lecture 1965

For the treatment of pernicious and hypochromic anaemia and for granulocytopenia he used intramuscular injections of extract of liver and he was associated with George Richards Minot and George Hoyt Whipple in work on pernicious anaemia and the treatment of it by means of a diet of uncooked liver.

Again, we find it effective in enhancing the rate of hemoglobin formation in the hypochromic anemias treated with iron.

In this study, low vitamin D levels at baseline were significantly associated with increased risk of HIV disease progression, severe anemia, and hypochromic microcytosis in HIV-infected Tanzanian women.

Typically, therefore, anemia of this category is described as "microcytic, hypochromic anemia".
