small cracks in the side of his mouth as well as brittle looking
nails that have an upward curve to them like a spoon. You run a
CBC, and these are your results: WBC 8,000, RBC 3.5,
Hemoglobin 9, hematocrit 37, MCV 75, RDW 17, MCHC 28.
What other findings would you expect to find? A high TIBC.
Here is the RBC Morphology
1. What are the morphological characteristics demonstrated
on this slide?
2. What other tests should be run in the general laboratory
on this patient? What ones will be abnormal?
3. What condition does the patient have?
