“Anisocytosis of RBC –
Anisocytosis refers to the presence of red blood cells (RBCs) of unequal sizes in a peripheral blood smear.
It is commonly seen in various types of anemia and indicates abnormal erythropoiesis or RBC maturation.
Key Features:
- Increased variation in RBC size.
- Reflected by an increased RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width).
- May show microcytes, macrocytes, or a mixed population of RBCs.
- Best detected on a peripheral blood smear and automated hematology analyzers.
Common Causes:
- Iron deficiency anemia
