A member asked:
My blood test says there are abnormal ovalocytes and anisocytosis present. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Red cell morphology: Ovalocytes are red blood cells which have lost their normal biconcave shape. Anisocytosis means that the red cells are of different non-uniform shapes and sizes. These findings are used in conjunction with other elements of your blood count to classify anemia and identify possible causes. Those can include a variety of things that damage rbcs or interfere with their proper maturation.
