VENTIMIGLIA, Fernando Daniel; RIVAS-IBARGUEN, María Alejandra; VILDOZA, Analía y ORSILLES, Miguel Ángel. Diagnostic value of red cell morphology in anemias. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2017, vol.51, n.3, pp.379-386. ISSN 0325-2957.
Despite the availability of modern automated equipment, the study of red cell morphology in peripheral blood smears continues to play a key role in the diagnosis of anemias. In 2005, the International Consensus Group for Hematology Review published a document with uniform criteria recommended action for the selection of blood smears to be analyzed by microscopy. Recently, the International Committee for Standardization in Hematology (ICSH) produced a series of recommendations to unify the nomenclature and graduate abnormal morphological findings in the study of peripheral blood. The aim of our work was to present readers with a review of the topic and the latest recommendations of the expert groups at national and international levels for the study of anemias by evaluating red cell morphology in the peripheral blood smear.
