Module 3 reports
Lab Diagnosis for Iron Deficiency Anemia

Lab Diagnosis for Sickle Cell Anemia
Peripheral Blood Smear
Blood Test
A Genetic disorder that turns RBC into sickle-like shape making it easier for them to be destroyed (autosomal recessive)
Sickle Cell Anemia
Also known as erythrocytosis, it is a blood disorder where there are too many blood cells, which makes blood thicker and harder to flow
Polycythemia
is classified as hypochromic microcytic anemia due to
lack of ferrous iron that forms the heme structure of hemoglobin.
