Background: The morphologic approach to anemia begins with review of the CBC, particularly the mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and the peripheral blood smear. The initial distinction is based on the red cell size: anemias are classified as microcytic, normocytic, or macrocytic. The presence of abnormally shaped erythrocytes (poikilocytes) may suggest a specific disease or cause. A problem with the morphologic approach is that the morphologic changes in early anemia may be subtle and easy to miss. A second problem is that one morphologic abnormality may have several possible causes. Methods: A sample of 100 participants were included in the study. Informed consent was obtained. Venous blood samples were obtained and serum prepared, the hematology analyzer (Sysmex 3000) used to measure the hematology parameters, Cobas e114 used to estimate the serum ferritin. Results: The results showed significant differences between the mean level of male and female in the following parameters RBC’s count, and RBC’s indices MCV, MCH and PLTs count p. value( |
