Polychromatophilia : Mnemonics [Remember Easily]

Remember various aspects of Polychromatophilia in the form of mnemonics so as to easily recall during your medical & nursing exams

Polychromatophilia refers to a condition in which there is an abnormally wide range of coloration among a person’s red blood cells. Under a microscope, RBCs should all seem the same faint shade of red. However, in people with polychromatophilia, the RBCs can be a variety of colours, including blue.

The excessive generation of red blood cells found in circumstances like hemolytic anaemia and blood loss often manifests as polychromatophilia. Chronic liver illness and bone marrow abnormalities also exhibit this symptom.

Diagnosing and monitoring certain illnesses, as well as gauging the efficacy of treatment, can benefit from the presence of polychromatophilic red blood cells.
