This CBC demonstrates findings suggestive of spherocytosis, a condition in which the RBC's are small and round (rather than the normal biconcave appearance) with increased hemoglobin content. This is indicated here by the increase MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration). There is a rare condition known as hereditary spherocytosis. Also, RBC's in the condition of autoimmune hemolytic anemia can also appear similarly. |
