Rings and webs may be congenital remnants in which the esophagus fails to recanalize completely during embryogenesis. Schatzki rings arise in response to chronic injury by gastroesophageal reflux. Autoimmune diseases have been associated with esophageal webs and rings. Although webs have been linked to iron deficiency anemia (Plummer–Vinson syndrome), some studies have found no correlation between webs and either overt or latent iron deficiency.

Instrument-specific reference ranges [15,16] and clinical decision values for a number of conditions have been established. This is regarded necessary, due to the differences in technology mentioned and the lack of international standardization of these new RBC and reticulocyte parameters. It has been demonstrated that MCHr measured by CELL-DYN Sapphire can accurately detect a negative iron balance and suboptimal hemoglobinization in early stages of iron depletion in blood donors, in latent iron deficiency and in inflammatory diseases [17–19].
