Last reviewed 01/2018
A macrocytosis describes the situation where the red cells are larger than normal - defined as a mean cell volume of greater than 95 (although this criteria may vary between laboratories).
There may be a simple macrocytosis or the patient may go on to have a macrocytic anaemia.
