Macrocytic Anemia | Megaloblastic vs Non-Megaloblastic | Approach & Causes

Macrocytic anemia is a condition with low hemoglobin and high MCV (mean corpuscular volume). Macrocytic anemia can be broken down into Megaloblastic and non-megaloblastic by looking at a blood smear. In this lesson, we discuss an approach to determining how to diagnose macrocytic anemia including distinguishing between megaloblastic and non-megaloblastic as well as looking at a variety of causes (including vitamin b12 and folate deficiencies).
