-Abnormal red blood cells are seen in a wide range of conditions, so poikilocytosis is not [[Specificity (tests) | specific]]. However, specific types of poikilocytes may be seen in particular disease states and/or disorders.
-===Membrane Abnormalities===
+==Diagnosis==
-# [[Acanthocyte]]s or Spur/Spike cells
-# [[Codocyte]]s or Target cells
-# Echinocytes and Burr cells
-# Elliptocytes and Ovalocytes
-# [[Spherocytosis|Spherocyte]]s
-# Stomatocytes or Mouth cells

-# Dacrocytes or Teardrop Cells
-# Keratocytes
-# Microspherocytes and Pyropoikilocytes
-# [[Schistocyte]]s
-# Semilunar bodies
 ==Treatment==
-In all cases, the treatment of poikilocytosis depends on its cause.  For example, poikilocytosis can be caused by a vitamin deficiency, in which case the treatment is to take [[Vitamin B12]] or [[folic acid]].  It can be caused by a digestive disease, such as [[celiac disease]], in which case the solution may lie in treating the underlying celiac disease so that nutrients can be properly absorbed.
