Abstract
Background: Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) increases by more than 100 fl. in macrocytosis, a condition in which erythrocytes are larger than normal. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the haematological characteristics in various aetiologies and to determine the underlying reasons of macrocytosis, which was found in regular hemograms. In addition to doing full blood counts, renal function tests, liver function tests, vitamin B12 assays, folate assays, and peripheral smear evaluations and few case were bone marrow examination. Material and Methods: In this prospective observational study conducted over a period of one-year, medical records of 250 subjects were evaluated. Data was compiled of Megaloblastic, Non-megaloblastic Macrocytosis levels, along with clinical diagnosis and other biochemical parameters. Based on clinical evaluation and hematological and biochemeical evidence, patients were diagnosed as positive cases of Megaloblastic(166), Non-Megaloblastic (133).Among this two variable group Mean ±SD were also calculated .
