anisocytosis การใช้

An elevated RDW ( red blood cells of unequal sizes ) is known as anisocytosis.
In practice though elliptocytes and anisocytosis are often seen in thalessemia and target cells occasionally in iron deficiency.
Anemia of chronic disease shows unremarkable RBCs, iron deficiency shows anisocytosis, anisochromia and elliptocytosis, and thalessemias demonstrate target cells and coarse basophilic stippling.
The red cell distribution width ( RDW ) is a measurement of anisocytosis and is calculated as a coefficient of variation of the distribution of RBC volumes divided by the mean corpuscular volume ( MCV)
The blood smear of a person with iron deficiency shows many hypochromic ( pale and relatively colorless ) and rather small RBCs, and may also show poikilocytosis ( variation in shape ) and anisocytosis ( variation in size ).
