Causes

Abnormal red blood cells are seen in a wide range of conditions, so poikilocytosis is not specific. However, specific types of poikilocytes may be seen in particular disease states and/or disorders.

Membrane Abnormalities

1. Acanthocytes or Spur/Spike cells
2. Codocytes or Target cells
3. Echinocytes and Burr cells
4. Elliptocytes and Ovalocytes
5. Spherocytes
6. Stomatocytes or Mouth cells

Trauma

1. Dacrocytes or Teardrop Cells
2. Keratocytes
3. Microspherocytes and Pyropoikilocytes
4. Schistocytes
5. Semilunar bodies
