the peripheral blood smear shows marked anisopoikilocytosis, microcytic, hypochromic RBC with normocytic target cells and schistocytes seen. WBC are predominantly segmenters with few lymphocytes. The platelets are adequate. can u explain that.. and what is the possible clinical diagnosis
You might be suffering from hypodermic microcytic anemia. It may be due to iron deficiency most commonly. May be due to thalassemia minor. Schistocyte are seen if hemolysis is there. So ask for bilirubin and s iron and ferritin level.
