Macro-polycytes (large hypersegmented neutrophils) seen in megaloblastic anemia MCHC is calculated by dividing MCH with MCV. Since both parameters are increased propoionately in megaloblastic anemia, MCHC remains normal. Thus, option 4 is wrong. Remaining all features given in options can be seen in Megaloblastic anemia Note: Increase in MCHC occurs only in hereditary spherocytosis
Macro-polycytes
Reduced reticulocyte count
Hypercellular bone marrow
MCHC is increased
