In a macrocytic anemia, the larger red cells are always associated with insufficient numbers of cells and often also insufficient hemoglobin content per cell. Both of these factors work to the opposite effect of larger cell size, to finally result in a total blood hemoglobin concentration that is less than normal (i.e., anemia).

Each unit is easily converted and computed using simple multiplication and division. With multiplication, the decimal point moves to the right; with division, the decimal point moves to the left.
