Mature erythrocytes are biconcave disks. RBCs with abnormal morphology may be removed from the circulation leading to anemia. Therefore, certain types of anemia may be characterized by poikilocytosis.

Erythrocytes, lymphocytes, granulocytes, and megakaryocytes (platelets) all originate from the same common progenitors called pleuripotent stem cells, [1, 4, 5] however, only RBC development is ...
