dc.description.abstractAnemia, reduced red cell mass below normal range, results in reduction of oxygen carrying capacity of bloodthat results in tissue hypoxia. MCV, MCH, MCH and RDW represent a sensitive indicator to study erythrocytemorphology. Mentzer Index recommended MI<13 to be suggestive of รข-TT and MI>13 for Iron deficiencyanemia. 100 cases were analyzed prospectively over a span of 1 year at MMIMSR, Mullana. The studyrevealed 34% of patients to be in age group of 21-30 years with (59%) female predominance out of whichmajority of cases were of moderate anemia (73%). Erythrocyte indices revealed pattern with majority ofsamples having MCV, MCH and MCHC to be in normal range while RDW showed increased values. Mentzerindex came out to be >14 in 96% of samples. To conclude evaluation of erythrocyte indices and Mentzerindex aids in quatitative assessment of anemia and also to distinguish between iron deficiency anemia andthalassemia trait.en_US
