Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi
your report shows that you have MEAN INCREASED volume of RBC .that means RBC are macrocytic.
vitamin B12 DEFICIENCY is the one of the cause for macrocytic RBC.
when there is vitamin B12 deficiency ,there may be changes in neutrophil too.(increased in lobulation of nucleus)
other cause for macrocytic RBC can be considered only after knowing the vitamin B12 level in blood.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The blood report shows a macrocytic type of anemia.
I suggest you to get vitamin b 12 and folic acid levels done.
deficiency of vitamin B 12 and folic acid will be treated by vitamin B 12 and folic acid supplementation.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
