A member asked:
Will you still have enlarged blood cells even after you quit drinking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If the large cells, macrocytosis, is due to alcohol use, it would disappear in 2-3 months. If there are other causes, e.g., folate (folic acid) deficiency, that would need to be corrected.
