Causes of microcytic anaemia and evaluation of conventional laboratory parameters in the differentiation of erythrocytic microcytosis in blood donors candidates.

CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that the values of haematological parameters, especially haematocrit, Hb, MCV, MCH, MCHC and red blood cell distribution width (RDW), are lower in patients with IDA, especially when associated with α-thal and therefore it may be useful to discriminate between the different types of microcytic anaemia.
