How does DAT correlate with histological findings?
Histological examination of blood smears from patients with a positive DAT may reveal characteristics indicative of hemolysis, such as:
Spherocytes: RBCs that appear more spherical due to membrane loss. Schistocytes: Fragmented RBCs typically seen in hemolytic conditions. Increased Reticulocytes: Young RBCs indicating a compensatory response to hemolysis.
