Mentzer Index is a calculated hematological parameter used to differentiate Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) from Thalassemia Trait. It is derived from the Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) divided by the Red Blood Cell (RBC) count. This simple yet clinically valuable index helps in the initial evaluation of microcytic anemia and guides further diagnostic testing.
