Anisopoikilocytosis - Red blood cells of different shapes and sizes
Macroovulocytes - Enlarged, oval red blood cells
These are the features of Vitamin B 12 or Folate deficiency. Blood tests can easily diagnose the deficiency. Your report shows that you do not have any iron deficiency in blood.
It is easily treatable by vitamin b 12 and folate supplements.
