d. Normocytic normochromic.

Rheumatoid arthritis may cause a warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The red cells are of normal size and colour (normocytic and normochromic).

A low white blood cell count (neutropenia) usually only occurs in patients with Felty's syndrome with an enlarged liver and spleen. The mechanism of neutropenia is complex. An increased platelet count (thrombocytosis) occurs when inflammation is uncontrolled, as does the anemia.
