Why doesn't the bone marrow respond to normocytic anemia? If someone could explain why the MCV is within normal range for extravascular condition ( say Sickle Cell) or for intravascular disorder and for G6PD deficiency I'd appreciate it. I would assume that an anemic condition due to overall hemoglobin dysfunction would mean more reticulocytes being made. In other words, why isn't the MCV changing?
Thanks
