Bone marrow aspiration and  biopsy is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of<unk>  anemia. Light microscopy, Prussian blue staining and electron microscopy are performed on bone marrow biopsy samples. The bone marrow aspirate will show erythroid hyperplasia and pale red blood cell precursors. Prussian blue staining of bone marrow aspirate reveals iron-positive granules surrounding the nucleus of the erythroblast in ring form.
