A member asked:
Cbp, esr, serum iron, tibc and identified rbc morphology : microcytic- hypochromic smear seen, anisocytosis-poikilocytosis. what test covers etiology?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Hypochromic microcitic anemia is most likely due to iron deficiency, but if there is significant poikilocytosis other causes are possible. Your doc may want to send you to a hematologist if the etiology is unclear. Good luck.
