Variations in size
Anisocytosis
Parameter that measures single cell size
Mean Cell Volume (MCV)
Parameter that measures variations in cell size
RBS distribution width (RDW)
Parameters used to identify the presence of anisocytosis
RDW & MCV
RBC that is less than 6 micrometer

Hemolytic anemia
Aplastic anemia
Microystis is due to?
Decreased hgb synthesis
Alteration in color
Anisochromia
It is the result of a defect in either nuclear maturation or stimulated erythropoiesis
Macrocystis
What are the three types of anisochromia
Hypochromia, normochromic, polychromatophilia
Disease assoc with normochromic
AHA
This stage of RBC maturation exhibits polychromatophilia
Polychromatophilic erythrocyte (Reticulocyte)
It has large, pale overall appearance and large central palloa
