My daughter is of 21 years old and she gets fainted on check up she has been advised iron therapy. previously she has 6.6 haemoglobin level she was hospitalised and was given an injection of a monomer with some iron therapy. I repeated her test after a month and has got 11 haemoglobin level with the remark as Hypochromic.Anisocytosis.Do I need to worry about how to go about it?
Anisocytosis is a medical term meaning that a patient's red blood cells are of unequal size. This is commonly found in anemia and other blood conditions. False diagnostic flagging may be triggered by an elevated WBC count, agglutinated RBCs, RBC fragments, giant platelets or platelet clumps.Hypochromic anemia is a generic term for any type of anemia in which the red blood cells (erythrocytes) are paler than normal. (Hypo- refers to less, and chromic means color.) A normal red blood cell will have an area of pallor in the center of it; it is biconcave disk shaped
