Red cell morphology and the peripheral blood film

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine
Robert V Pierre

Abstract

Red cell morphology as determined by microscopic examination of a stained blood film is an old and traditional approach to the evaluation of an anemic patient. The examination of a well-made and well-stained peripheral blood film remains an important and vital tool in the evaluation of the anemic patient and provides direction for the subsequent laboratory evaluation of the patient's anemia. This article provides a review of the important red cell changes necessary for evaluation in determining the cause of anemia.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
