Question 1

what is moderate anisopoikilocytosis?

Accepted Answer

Red blood cells: This term literally translated to the presence in the blood of erythrocytes(red blood cells) of varying sizes and abnormal shapes.  There are several different conditions which can result in this and should be seen and discussed with a hematologist (blood specialist).

Question 2

in a report its written.. alert! rbc: moderate anisopoikilocytosis. predominantly microcytic hypochromic cells with ovalocytes and elliptocytes?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: Iron deficiency, but could be other causes. What was the hgb?

Question 3

my father is 78 year old.currently haemoglobin level reached to 7.2. creatinine is 1.7,rbc morphology showing hypochromic,,anisopoikilocytosis.

Accepted Answer

Anemia: Needs further work up including Iron profil,vit B12and rbc folate (folic acid) and endoscopies up or colon as indicated

Question 4

normocytic, normochromic rbc's.  mild anisopoikilocytoisi seen . wbc's normal in number. no haemoparasite. monocytes 01% lymphocyte 43%, neutrophils 47%, eosinophils 09%. what is wrong with me ? this is my blood report!

Accepted Answer

Stop worrying: This is a normal blood count, though I'd have told you the actual absolute counts. If something's causing your symptoms, it's not showing up in your blood -- and many serious illnesses give you a normal blood count in any case. Best wishes.

Question 5

low hemoglobine, hematocrit&creatinine w/anisocytosis poikilocytosis anisochromia microcytes dianocytes schitocytes difusse basophilia, what it means?

Accepted Answer

Get it looked at: Your peripheral smear and your labs need to be reviewed by a hematologist or hematopathologist for accuracy of the lab report and possible diagnosis. It may be nothing more than minor genetic fluke, or something significant. Heads up -- vasculitis in the gall bladder wall is usually nothing to worry about though it scares some pathologists into overcalls.

Question 6

hb 10.3, platelets 105000, normoblasts=03/100wbcs. rbcs morphology is normochromic. normocytic majority of lymphocytes are atypical. mononeuclear smal?

Accepted Answer

We can't answer: Especially with the abnormal morphology of the lymphocytes, you need to speak either with the treating physician -- primary care or consulting hematologist -- or with a physician you trust. No one here can tell you what this means though it is of course very concerning.

Question 7

slide review results, anisocytosis 1+,microcytes 1+,normochromic,ovalocytes occasional,toxic granulation 2+,toxic vacuoles 1+,large platelet 1+whado?

Accepted Answer

Clinical picture: The real question is, how do you feel? These findings, while abnormal, may never be explained. In isolation, apart from the clinical picture, they are meaningless. I trust the reader is a pathologist or hematologist -- I'm the former, and often remind people that labs, while indispensable, are adjuncts to the clinical findings.

Question 8

can normochromic or normocytic anemia cause leukemia?

Accepted Answer

No: Anemia (normochromic/cytic or not) can be a sign of leukemia (or a variety of other cancerous or non-cancerous conditions). That is it can associated with leukemia.  However, it does not cause leukemia.  Correlation does not equal causation.

Question 9

whats a normocytic normochromic anemia?

Accepted Answer

Normal looking cells: Normocytic means the red blood cells are normal size; normochromic means normal color (amount of hemoglobin which gives the red blood cells their red color. Anemia means you have fewer than the normal number of red blood cells.

Question 10

chronically low neutrophils41.3%(50-60)high lymphocytes46.9%(25-40)high anion gap14(4-12)abnormal values@least3-5years.h/opots,cardiomyopathy,irritbs?

Accepted Answer

Hard to know: Much more info needed.  Would first need to know about medications to address. One commonality:  POTS often associates with mast cell or connective tissue problems, especially in light of concomitant cardiomyopathy, and so a work up could begin with a physician familiar with  these syndromes
