Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Codocytes, also known as target cells, are associated with conditions where there is abnormal hemoglobin synthesis or red blood cell membrane defects. These conditions include iron-deficiency anemia, thalassemias, and hemoglobinopathies. However, they are not typically associated with hemolytic anemia, which is characterized by the destruction of red blood cells. Hemolytic anemia may instead present with other red blood cell morphology abnormalities, such as spherocytes.
