Peripheral blood smear.This test looks at the size and shape of your red blood cells. In iron deficiency anemia, red blood cells are smaller than usual. Hematocrit.This test shows how much of your blood is made up of red cells. Hemoglobin.This test shows the amount of this protein in yo...
A low MCV, MCH or MCHC, and the appearance of the RBCs on visual examination of a peripheral blood smear will narrow the diagnosis to a microcytic anaemia. Microcytic anemia can also be the result of malabsorption phenomena associated with gluten-sensitive enteropathy/coeliac disease. ...

Deficiencies of vitamin B12 and folic acid are associated with macrocytic anemia and the presence of hypersegmented polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the peripheral blood smear (Figure 22-7). Measures of serum methylmalonic acid and homocysteine levels and serologic testing for parietal cell and intrinsic ...
Peripheral blood smear showed,"Marked anisocytosis, poikilocytosis with predominantly macrocytic,normochromic with macroovalocytes,elliptocytes,tear drop cells and polychromatic macrocytes and occasional nRBC's, fragmented RBC's seen with mild thrombocytopenia". Bone marrow aspiration done which showed,...
In stage 3, haemoglobin level is decreased, which manifests as anemia. In peripheral blood smear, erythrocytes appear normal in size and shape. Further, stage 4 is characterized by microcytic and hypochromic erythrocytes (Lichtin 2016). In the last stage, body tissues are negatively affected as...
Several indices on the FBC and peripheral blood smear can offer valuable insights into the cause of anaemia. Typically, these metrics are gauged using fully automated analysers in standard laboratories, which differentiate cell types via flow cytometry, delivering precision, accuracy, and speed. As ...

Our third patient is a 37-year-old Hispanic woman with dysfunctional uterine bleeding for approximately one year. Her hemoglobin level was 7 g/dl, MCV was 64 fl and serum ferritin was 4 ng/ml. Her peripheral blood smear revealed anisocytosis and poikilocytosis with microcytosis. This patient...
