    This document discusses red blood cell morphology and associated conditions. It notes that anisocytosis refers to variations in red blood cell size while poikilocytosis refers to variations in red blood cell shape. One abnormal red blood cell shape is crenated, while rouleaux formation causes cells to resemble stacked coins and can be seen in conditions that increase blood viscosity like hyperviscosity syndrome or multiple myeloma.
