Microcytic anaemia (MCV 75) with occult blood in the stool in a 73-year-old man is iron deficiency from chronic GI blood loss until proven otherwise. The next step is colonoscopy to exclude colorectal cancer.
- Iron supplements treat the anaemia but are not the next step: the bleeding source must be found.
- Folate is for macrocytic anaemia.
