Burr cells, also known as echinocytes, are red blood cells with short, evenly spaced projections on their surface.
They may appear due to physiological changes, slide preparation issues, or important clinical conditions.

Common causes include:
• Uremia / Kidney disease
• Electrolyte imbalance
• Liver disease
• Certain medications
• Artifact from smear making

This video explains how to identify burr cells, how they differ from acanthocytes, and why recognizing them is important in hematology & medical laboratory science.

Linked to lead poisoning, anemia, thalassemia and more.
Ideal for hematology learners & lab professionals.

Macrocytes are red blood cells larger than the normal size, often appearing round or oval on a peripheral smear.
They usually indicate abnormal RBC maturation or increased reticulocyte production.

Common causes include:
• Vitamin B12 deficiency
• Folate deficiency
• Liver disease
• Alcoholism
• Reticulocytosis
