Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my 2yr 4 months old daughter's blood report said "RBC shows hypochromia with anisopoikilocytosis and microcytes with pensil forms cell and a few target cells. WBC mature with above distribution Platelets are normal". Her HCT is 32%, MCV 72.9fL, MCH 25.1pg, MCHC is 34.4g/dL
Hello The blood picture of your child is suggestive of some hemolytic disorder. Although Iron deficiency can also cause anemia with hypochromic picture along with aniosopoikilocytosis and sometimes target cells also.But the MCH has not been decreased to the extent of anemia. The common type of hemolytic anemia is Thalessemia. Investigation like reticulocyte count,serum bilirubin and electrophoresis is also needed to find the type of hemolytic anemia. Regards
