In an RBC morphology report, hypochromia, microcytosis, and anisocytosis often indicate that your red blood cells are smaller than usual, lighter in colour, and unusual in size. This frequently occurs in iron deficiency anaemia, a condition in which the body lacks sufficient iron to produce healthy blood cells. It may result in fatigue, weakness, lightheadedness, hair loss, or dyspnea. To identify and treat the precise cause, your doctor can recommend iron testing, dietary modifications, and iron supplements. Eating foods high in iron, such as meat, dates, jaggery, beans, eggs, and green vegetables, can also raise haemoglobin levels.
