what is polychromasia
Polychromasia is usually a sign of bone marrow stress as well as immature red blood cells.3 types are recognized, with types (1) and (2) being referred to as 'young red blood cells' and type (3) as 'old red blood cells'. Giemsa stain is used to distinguish all three types in blood smears.he formation of red blood cells is commonly known as haematopoiesis. Up to the first 60 days of life, the yolk sac is the main source of haematopoiesis. The liver is then used as the main hematopoietic organ of the embryo until near birth, where it is then taken over by the bone marrow.
