Reply to comment by Winnr in Can you have anemia without having low iron? by Your_Raccoon_Atheist
You failed to mention a very common cause of anemia: anemia of loss. It may be through bleeding outside the body, third spacing, or occult loss via the GI. This also results in anisocytosis and macrocytosis because larger, immature erythrocytes are pushed into the peripheral blood before they are "ready."
