Morphological assessment of erythrocytes in peripheral blood smears: signs of normochromia, hypochromia, and hyperchromia in the differential diagnosis of anemias.
🔬 Human erythrocyte morphology. 1. Normochromic erythrocytes - does not mean anemia is absent 2. Hypochromic erythrocytes - most often due to IDA, but there can be another anemia, can you name which one? 3. Hyperchromic erythrocytes. For what age is such a picture physiological?

Morphological signs of erythrocyte hypochromia in a blood smear. Causes of decreased hemoglobin saturation: IDA, thalassemia, and lead poisoning.
Morphological features of a blood smear in hereditary spherocytosis: microspherocytes, anisocytosis, Howell-Jolly bodies, and basophilic stippling of erythrocytes.
What are Howell-Jolly bodies in erythrocytes? Learn about the mechanism of nuclear remnant formation and their causes in megaloblastic anemia, hemolysis, and asplenia in blood smears.
