I just did a question on USMLE-Rx re: Hereditary Spherocytosis. I got the diagnosis right but in the answer explanation, it says that it is a normocytic anemia but at the same time, there is an increased mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. How is this possible when you are normocytic (MCV: 90) and anemic (Hb: 11.5)?
