  2. Red blood cell indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_blood_cell_indices

    Red blood cell indices are blood tests that provide information about the hemoglobin content and size of red blood cells. Abnormal values indicate the presence of anemia and which type of anemia it is.

  3. Red blood cell distribution width - Wikipedia

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

    Red blood cells have an average volume of 80–100 femtoliters, but individual cell volumes vary even in healthy blood. [1] Certain disorders, however, cause a significantly increased variation in cell size. Higher RDW values indicate greater variation in size. Normal reference range of RDW-CV in human red blood cells is 11.5–15.4%.

  4. Hemoglobinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobinemia

    In extravascular hemolysis, red blood cells are phagocytized by macrophages in the spleen and liver. [2] Abnormal value of hemoglobin does not necessarily indicate a medical problem needing treatment. [3] Diet, activity level, medications, a women's menstrual cycle, and other considerations can affect the results. [3]

  5. Anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemia

    Anemia or anaemia (British English) is a blood disorder in which the blood has a reduced ability to carry oxygen.This can be due to a lower than normal number of red blood cells, a reduction in the amount of hemoglobin available for oxygen transport, or abnormalities in hemoglobin that impair its function.

    They contain abnormal haemoglobin which leave them curved. The sickle-shaped red blood cells carry less oxygen to your tissues compared to normal red blood cells and they may cause blockage to the flow of blood to your organs by stucking in your blood vessels. Sideroblastic anemia: D64.0-D64.3: 12110

  7. Macrocytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrocytic_anemia

    Macrocytic anemia is a class of anemia characterized by the presence of predominantly larger-than-normal red blood cells (RBC, also known as erythrocytes) accompanied by low numbers of RBC and often also with insufficient hemoglobin content per cell. Macrocytic anemia occurs when – despite the larger cell size – such factors result in ...

  8. Hemolytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_anemia

    Hemolytic anemia or haemolytic anaemia is a form of anemia due to hemolysis, the abnormal breakdown of red blood cells (RBCs), either in the blood vessels (intravascular hemolysis) or elsewhere in the human body (extravascular). [2]

  9. Polychromasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychromasia

    Polychromatic red blood cells appear bluish-gray on the blood smear. Polychromasia is a disorder where there is an abnormally high number of immature red blood cells found in the bloodstream as a result of being prematurely released from the bone marrow during blood formation ( poly - refers to many , and -chromasia means color .)
