MDS
Hi kyis,
All of us who have MDS have malshaped blood cells - dysplastic blood cells.
Macrocytes are abnormally large red blood cells and microcytes are abnormally small red blood cells.
Polychromasia means variation in the color of the red blood cells.
Ovalocytes means an abberant shape form of red blood cells also called elliptocytes.
Dacrocytes means teardropformed red blood cells.
If these kinds of red blood cells have increased it is a sign of progression but I should not worry about it - it is still the HGB that is important and indicates how we are functioning.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
