Updates to page

I reformatted the page slightly adding a more descriptive section under causes on rare microcytic anemias and added detailed sections on IDA, ACD, and thalassemia. I also added an evaluation and diagnosis section and added information on lab markers. Alyssamarino99 (talk) 21:11, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
