The purpose of this study was to identify characteristic red cell (RBC) cytogram patterns in various hematological conditions. Numerical and graphical results of the RBC data in 946 (342 healthy individuals and 620 patients with hematological diseases/conditions) were analyzed by the automated hematology analyzer ADVIA 2120 (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc). The graphical pattern of red cell distribution according to RBC volume/hemoglobin concentration (V/HC) was evaluated in iron deficiency anemia, heterozygous and homozygous thalassemia, megaloblastic and nonmegaloblastic macrocytosis, dual deficiency anemia, and post-transfusion findings. Red cell cytograms and other automated results were correlated with the clinical profiles and biochemical data. automated hematology analyzers, Advia 2120, cytogram, RBC Milena Velizarova, M.
