    This document provides an algorithm for diagnosing different types of anemia. It outlines steps for clinicians to take based on initial test results like hemoglobin levels, red blood cell count, and hematocrit. These tests can indicate microcytic hypochromic, macrocytic hypo/normocytic, or hemolytic anemia, allowing doctors to identify potential causes like iron deficiency, megaloblastic anemia, or underlying diseases and order follow up tests accordingly to confirm the diagnosis.
