Anemia Resource Center ... A rapid method of determining whether cellular indices are normocytic and normochromic is to multiply the RBC and Hb by 3. The RBC multiplied by 3 should equal the Hb, and the Hb multiplied by 3 should equal the Hct. Deviation from the calculated values suggests microcytosis, macrocytosis,
