[2] when associated with anemia, it is known as microcytic anemia. Microcytic anaemia is any of several types of anemia characterized by smaller than normal red blood cells (called microcytes). the normal mean corpuscular volume of a red blood cell is approximately 80–100 fl. when the mcv is <80 fl, the red cells are described as microcytic. mcv is the average red blood cell size. the main causes of microcytic anemia are iron deficiency, lead poisoning.

A blood smear showing hypochromic (and microcytic) anemia. note the increased central pallor of the red blood cells. hypochromic anemia is a generic term for any type of anemia in which the red blood cells are paler than normal. (hypo refers to less, and chromic means colour.) a normal red blood cell has a biconcave disk shape and will have an area of pallor in its center when viewed. A microcyte is an abnormally sized red blood cell. by definition it is 5 micrometers or smaller in diameter. it is often associated with several forms of anemia. [1]. The red blood cells of people with hemoglobin c disease are usually abnormally small (microcytic) with a high mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (mchc). the high mchc is caused by a decreased concentration of water inside the cells. target cells, microspherocytes, and hbc crystals can be seen on microscopic examination of blood smears from homozygous patients. [2].

[2]. The mean corpuscular volume is a part of a standard complete blood count. in patients with anemia, it is the mcv measurement that allows classification as either a microcytic anemia (mcv below normal range), normocytic anemia (mcv within normal range) or macrocytic anemia (mcv above normal range). Anisopoikilocytosis is a medical condition illustrated by a variance in size (anisocytosis) and shape (poikilocytosis) of a red blood cell. the underlying cause can be attributed to various anemias, most often; beta thalassemia major, a form of microcytic anemia. [1] in β thalassemia major the beta hemoglobin chain is completely absent, rendering an increase in fetal hemoglobin (hbf). [2].
