Description
Summary:The most potential causes of "non hemolytic" anemias are iron, folate or vitamin B deficiencies, severe renal impairment, endocrine diseases, inflammation and medullary disorders.

The goal of this review is to point out analytical difficulties and to remember some rarer etiologies.
