The expert opinion said “The
peripheral blood smear shows red blood cells with arrows pointing to
echinocytes or burr cells. These have multiple, short, blunt projections evenly
spaced over the cell surface. The central pallor is retained. These types of
cells are seen in uremic patients or as an artifact of slide preparation
(crenation effect).”
I’ll add the observation that those are
echinocytes, NOT acanthocytes. I’ve mentioned those before.
