A member asked:

Cbc shows i'm anemic. red blood cell morphology showed platelets- adequate, microcytes 1+, polychromasia 1+. what do those results mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing alone: I'd think first of iron deficiency but it's not going to reveal the actual cause of your anemia -- which must be found. As a pathologist and lab specialist, i'm constantly reminding people that the results are useful only in the clinical context. Your physician will look at your diet, possible reasons for blood loss, your past & maybe family history and more. Stay proactive.
