In this study, the mean corpuscula volume (MCV) and the red blood cell distribution width (RDW) were measured in 21 patients with hemolytic anemia, 35 patients with non-hemolytic anemia, and 100 healthy subjects were in the control group. The result revealed that the changes of MCV and RDW in hemolytic anemia and the other proliferative anemia were special. As diagnostic criterion of HA, MCV and RDW showed high-sensitivity and specificity. It is useful for screening HA patients.
