Abstract:
Macrocytosis is a common laboratory finding. Whether this change requires further attention is dictated by clinical circumstances and concomitant cytopenias or aberrant erythrocyte and leukocyte morphology. The utility of these changes for dictating further investigation and the appropriate "modus operandi" in diagnostic strategies for the adult and the younger patient are outlined.
