Hello, Endocytosis may be seen in iron deficiency anemia or cells seen in hyperglycemia or acanthocytes may be seen in hypothyroidism etc. Please check for your spleen, kidney function and Thyroid profile. Then consult your physician/hematologist he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
