What does normocytic normochromic RBC with anisocytosis mean?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. I have seen the attached report (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

In the attached report lymphocyte count is high. The high lymphocytes are usually seen in viral Infection. There are other causes of lymphocytosis as well. But you need to repeat CBC (complete blood count) again after one week to check lymphocytes count. The peripheral smear finding is normal, so do not worry about any abnormal cells. However, revert back to me with repeat CBC after one week.

The size and hemoglobin content in red blood cells mentioned as normocytic normochromic. So do not worry about normochromic normocytic RBC which is absolutely normal.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The word anisocytosis means variation in the size of red blood cells. Mild anisocytosis can be seen normally as well. If it is marked then iron supplement is needed. Marked anisocytosis is seen in iron deficiency anemia.

But in your case, it is mild and you have predominate normocytic means normal-sized RBC. So do not worry about anisocytosis. It is not a matter of concern if the hemoglobin level is normal. If you have a value of hemoglobin then attach that report. In your attached report Hb value not mentioned. I will check your lymphocytes count after a few days.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have checked your attached report (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Your hemoglobin level and RBC are within range. So do not worry about anisocytosis. You are not having iron deficiency anemia. So do not start iron supplements. Do not worry about anisocytosis. Drink lots of water. Take healthy foods like green leafy vegetables and fruits more.

Our main concern is lymphocytes which will check after a few days.

I hope this helps.
