What Does Polychromasia On A Blood Test Report Mean?
I had a HEMOGRAM W/DIFFERENTIAL blood test and all the results looked to be in range, but at the bottom of the report it listed this. Haven t seen this before. Not sure what polychromasia is. Platelet morphology evaluated, no significant abnormalities identified. Slight polychromasia.

What Does Polychromasia On A Blood Test Report Mean?
Hi, Polychromasia reflect a premature form of red blood cells that is reticulocyte. So you have to investigate further with reticulocyte count estimation. For that laboratory will take 2 ml blood in EDTA vacutainer. If it is elevated than will discuss further. In hemolytic anaemia, it can be elevated. Don t worry about that. You can revert back with reticulocyte count report and will guide you further. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
