Q

Name two microscopic features of a regenerative anemia and explain why the veterinary team wants to know if anemia is regenerative or non-regenerative.
Importance?

A
  • Polychromasia and nucleated red blood cells are the signs of Regenerative anemia
  • It’s important to know because regenerative anemia can indicate the bone marrow is not compensating for the decreased amount of RBCs
