Hi! I have had anemia for some time and take iron pills that keep what the doctors call stable anemia. My recent blood work had these other results that I have never had before. I realize that they relate to abnormal shapes of the red blood cells. I am just wondering if they matter. I did a little research and it links them to Hemolytic Autoimmune Anemia which seems to me to relate to lupus. I am wondering why my rheumatologists have never really addressed my anemia. My regular doctor manages it, Any help would be appreciated. Here are the blood results:
Anisocytosis1+
Polychromasia1+
Hypochromia1+
Poikilocytes2+
Schistocytes1+
Burr Cells2+
Target Cells1+
Tear Drop Cells1+
Thanks for any insight.
Healing hugs.
