  2. Microcytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcytic_anemia

    Microcytic anaemia is any of several types of anemia characterized by smaller than normal red blood cells (called microcytes). The normal mean corpuscular volume (abbreviated to MCV on full blood count results, and also known as mean cell volume) is approximately 80–100 fL .

  3. Microcytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcytosis

    Microcytic anemia is not caused by reduced DNA synthesis [citation needed].. Thalassemia can cause microcytosis. Depending upon how the terms are being defined, thalassemia can be considered a cause of microcytic anemia, or it can be considered a cause of microcytosis but not a cause of microcytic anemia.

  4. Mean corpuscular volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_corpuscular_volume

    The mean corpuscular volume is a part of a standard complete blood count. In patients with anemia, it is the MCV measurement that allows classification as either a microcytic anemia (MCV below normal range), normocytic anemia (MCV within normal range) or macrocytic anemia (MCV above normal range). Normocytic anemia is usually deemed so because ...

  5. Hypochromic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochromic_anemia

    A blood smear showing hypochromic (and microcytic) anemia. Note the increased central pallor of the red blood cells. Hypochromic anemia is a generic term for any type of anemia in which the red blood cells are paler than normal. (Hypo- refers to less, and chromic means colour.) A normal red blood cell has a biconcave disk shape and will have an ...

  6. Copper deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_deficiency

    The characteristic hematological (blood) effects of copper deficiency are anemia (which may be microcytic, normocytic or macrocytic) and neutropenia. [6] Thrombocytopenia (low blood platelets) is unusual. [2] [7] The peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate findings in copper deficiency can mimic myelodysplastic syndrome. [8]

  7. Anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemia

    There may be signs of specific causes of anemia, e.g. koilonychia (in iron deficiency), jaundice (when anemia results from abnormal break down of red blood cells – in hemolytic anemia), nerve cell damage (vitamin B 12 deficiency), bone deformities (found in thalassemia major) or leg ulcers (seen in sickle-cell disease).

  8. Red blood cell distribution width - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_blood_cell...

    Normal reference range of RDW-CV in human red blood cells is 11.5–15.4%. [2] [1] If anemia is observed, RDW test results are often used together with mean corpuscular volume (MCV) results to determine the possible causes of the anemia. It is mainly used to differentiate an anemia of mixed causes from an anemia of a single cause.

  9. Microcyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcyte

    A microcyte is an abnormally sized red blood cell. By definition it is 5 micrometers or smaller in diameter. It is often associated with several forms of anemia .
