CBC results: WBC: 4.2 x 10^9/L RBC: 4 x 10^12/L HGB: 12 g/dL PLT: 145 x 10^9/L RBC morphology: normochromic, slightly macrocytic; some stomatocytes observed Neutrophil morphology: normal morphology MMA: normal Homocysteine: slightly increased What is a likely diagnosis? Explain. What other specific tests should be done to confirm the diagnosis? What kinds of lifestyle questions would be appropriate to ask this patient?
