Anisocytosis is a medical term meaning that a patient's red blood cells are of unequal size. Macrocytosis is the enlargement of red blood cells with near-constant hemoglobin concentration, and is defined by a mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of greater than 100 femtolitres (the precise criterion varies between laboratories). Ovalocytes, are abnormally shaped red blood cells that appear oval or elongated, from slightly egg-shaped to rod or pencil forms. They have normal central pallor with the hemoglobin appearing concentrated at the ends of the elongated cells when viewed through a light microscope. The ends of the cells are blunt. I would advise you to visit a hematologist so that you are evaluated and can undergo further investigations such as thyroid profile, LFT,etc to find the underlying cause and have it treated. So kindly visit a hematologist/general medicine MD at the earliest.
