HEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PROFILE OF PATIENTS WITH MACROCYTIC ANEMIA AT TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL

Abstract

Anemia is a global nutritional problem, and the risk of morbidity and death is higher in all age groups. Macrocytic anemia is usually caused by abnormalities that affect the maturation of erythroid precursors in the bone marrow. Because the clinical manifestations of different types of anemia are similar, hematological parameters (such as hemoglobin, red blood cell count, and peripheral blood smear) can be used to diagnose anemia.
