Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Noted you have hepatosplenomegaly.
For diagnosis non alcoholic fatty liver ,USG done to rule out it.....
Here chance of hemolytic anemias is present ....
For that peripheral smear examination for normoblast with retic count done.....
Serum LDH useful....
Electrophoresis can done for hemoglobinopathy....
If autoimmune hemolytic anemia suspected then coombs test useful.....
Take care...
