Description
Summary:Kakkar and Makkar present characteristic red cell cytograms generated by Advia-120, a 5-part automated hematology analyzer, as seen in common hematological conditions. Results show that common hematological conditions like iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, macrocytic anemia, dual deficiency anemia, cold agglutinins, and others were diagnosed based on characteristic red cell cytogram patterns, red cell indices, and relevant biochemical/other investigations. Therefore conclude that red cell cytogram patterns from automated analyzers provide clinically useful information that acts as an adjunct to the numerical parameters and at times is even diagnostic of some hematological conditions not otherwise suspected.
