Possible Significance
corresponds to raised RDW (see Full
Blood Count)
may be diagnostic (e.g. spherocytes)
B12/folate deficiency, ethanol,
hypothyroidism
iron deficiency, thalassaemia trait
raised protein in plasma e.g.
infection, inflammation,
myeloproliferative diseases eg
myeloma
cold autoagglutination
hereditary, autoimmune
hereditary, elliptocytosis
thalassaemia, liver disease, iron
deficiency, Hb C (Afro-Caribbeans)
immature red cells (bleeding,
haemolysis)
post-splenectomy, hyposplenism
oxidative haemolysis (e.g. G6PD
deficiency)
renal failure, hypothyroidism
liver disease
MAHA’s: Aortic stenosis/prosthetic
valves, DIC, TTP, HUS, HELLP,
HITS, glomerulonephritis
infection, marrow infiltration
megaloblastic anaemia
implies bacterial infection
MAHA: Microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia
