Part Description
LP17441-4 Macrocytes
Macrocytosis is the enlargement of red blood cells with near-constant hemoglobin concentration, and is defined by a mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of greater than 100 femtolitres (the precise criterion varies between laboratories).
Most commonly (especially when the increase in size is mild, and just above normal range) the etiology is bone marrow dysplasia primary to alcohol abuse and Chronic alcoholism. Other causes may include: Megaloblastosis (Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency; or DNA synthesis-inhibiting drugs), hypothyroidism, reticulocytosis (commonly from hemolysis or a recent history of blood loss), liver disease, myeloproliferative disease
