Hello,

Anisocytosis may be seen in iron deficiency anaemia or but cells seen in hyperuricemia or acanthocytes may be seen in hypothyroidism etc.

Please check for your spleen, kidney function and Thyroid profile. Then consult your physician/haematologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
