Summary of Abnormal Findings

1. Anaemia (Mild-Moderate)
  • Hb: 11.0 g/dL (normal for females: 12-15 g/dL) - below normal
  • PCV/HCT: 33.5% (normal: 40-50%) - significantly low
  • This confirms true anaemia, not a dilutional or technical artefact
2. Microcytic Anaemia
  • MCV: 74.4 fL (normal: 80-100 fL) - reduced, indicating small red cells (microcytosis)
  • MCH: 24.4 pg (normal: 27-34 pg) - reduced, indicating less haemoglobin per cell (hypochromia)
  • MCHC: 32.7 g/dL - still within normal range (low-normal), meaning the concentration of Hb per cell volume is borderline
This combination of low MCV + low MCH = microcytic hypochromic anaemia
3. Markedly Elevated RDW (Very Significant)
  • RDW-CV: 42.6% (normal: 11.0-16.0%) - extremely elevated
  • RDW-SD: 118.1 fL (normal: 35-56 fL) - extremely elevated
RDW (Red cell Distribution Width) measures the variation in red cell size (anisocytosis). A markedly elevated RDW like this indicates a very heterogeneous population of red cells - there are both very small and relatively normal/large cells present. This is a key discriminating feature.

Clinical Interpretation

Most Likely Diagnosis: Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA)
The pattern of:
  • Low Hb + Low PCV
  • Low MCV (microcytic)
  • Low MCH (hypochromic)
  • Very high RDW (marked anisocytosis - hallmark of IDA)
  • Normal WBC and platelets
...is classic for iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), the most common cause of anaemia globally and particularly in young women of reproductive age.
The markedly elevated RDW (42.6%) is the standout finding here. In IDA, as iron stores deplete progressively, newly synthesised RBCs become smaller and smaller while older, previously normal-sized RBCs remain in circulation. This mixed population produces marked anisocytosis and a very high RDW. This distinguishes IDA from thalassaemia trait, where cells are uniformly small (low MCV, low MCH) but RDW is usually normal or only mildly elevated.
Differential Diagnosis to Consider:
ConditionMCVMCHRDWMCHC
Iron Deficiency AnaemiaLowLowVery HighLow-normal
Beta-thalassaemia traitLowLowNormal/mild elevationNormal
Sideroblastic anaemiaLow/mixedLowHighVariable
Anaemia of chronic diseaseLow/normalLow/normalNormalNormal
The very high RDW with microcytic hypochromic anaemia strongly favours IDA over thalassaemia trait in this clinical picture. However, thalassaemia cannot be fully excluded without further investigations.

White Cell Differential - Normal

  • Neutrophils 61.6% - normal (no neutrophilia suggesting bacterial infection; no neutropenia)
  • Lymphocytes 33.8% - normal (no lymphocytosis of viral infection)
  • Monocytes 3.8% - normal
  • Eosinophils 0.8% - normal (no eosinophilia to suggest parasitic infection/allergy, which can sometimes co-exist with IDA in tropical settings)
  • Basophils 0.00% - normal
No evidence of infection, leukaemoid reaction, or haematological malignancy based on the differential count.

Platelet Parameters - Normal

  • Platelet count 273 x10^9/L - normal
  • MPV, PDW, PCT, P-LCC, P-LCR all within reference ranges
  • No thrombocytopenia or thrombocytosis

Suggested Further Investigations (for MBBS report)

To confirm IDA and exclude thalassaemia:
  1. Serum Ferritin - most sensitive marker of iron stores; will be low in IDA
  2. Serum Iron and TIBC - low iron, high TIBC in IDA
  3. Transferrin Saturation - will be reduced in IDA (<16%)
  4. Peripheral Blood Smear - will show microcytes, hypochromic cells, pencil cells (elliptocytes), target cells, and anisopoikilocytosis in IDA
  5. Reticulocyte count - usually low-normal in IDA (inadequate response)
  6. Hb electrophoresis / HPLC - to rule out thalassaemia trait (HbA2 elevated in beta-thal trait)

Clinical Impression for MBBS Submission

The FBC of this 26-year-old female demonstrates a mild-to-moderate microcytic hypochromic anaemia (Hb 11.0 g/dL, MCV 74.4 fL, MCH 24.4 pg) with markedly elevated RDW (RDW-CV 42.6%, RDW-SD 118.1 fL), consistent with significant anisocytosis. The white cell count, differential, and platelet parameters are all within normal limits. The combination of microcytosis, hypochromia, and strikingly elevated RDW is most consistent with iron deficiency anaemia. Thalassaemia trait should be excluded by haemoglobin electrophoresis and iron studies. Further investigations including serum ferritin, serum iron, TIBC, and peripheral blood film are recommended to confirm the diagnosis and guide management.

Note: This analysis is for educational purposes for MBBS studies. The patient's clinical history, symptoms (fatigue, pallor, dietary history, menstrual history), and physical examination findings should always be integrated with laboratory data for a complete clinical assessment.
