Overview
Laboratory Findings
Red cell indices
- Reticulocytosis
- Decreased mean corpuscular volume
- Increased mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration
- Increased red cell distribution width
Peripheral blood smear
- In a peripheral blood smear, the abnormally small red blood cells lacking the central pallor i.e. spherocytes are seen.
