iron deficiency
MCV(mean cell volume). Increased mcv is a sign of macrocytosis which may be related to anaemia due to deficiency of vit.B12 and/or folic acid with the occurence of megaloblasts in the bone marrow.
mcv high
my mcv in blood test is 77? my mch is 26 and my hemoglobin is 122. what does it mean?
What does this mean? I have a high WBC of 11.1 and MCH is 31.7
microcytic hypochromic anaemia
Most often this is due to iron deficiency, but it can also occur in other red blood cell production (hematopoietic) abnormalities.
my MCV is high 98 is that dangerous?
MCH = Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin. It is a measure of the amount of hemoglobin in your red blood cells. The ref. range for adults is between 28-32. MCH [similar to the MCV] is elevated in: hereditary anemia(s), megaloblastic anemias (pernicious, folic acid deficiency, B12 deficiency), reticulocytosis, artifact (aplasia, myelofibrosis, hyperglycemia, cold agglutinins), liver disease, hypothyroidism, Drugs (anti-convulsants), zidovidune treatment (AIDS).
RBC-4.74 Hb-13.9 Hematocrit-39.1 MCV-82.4 MCH-29.3 MCHC-35.5 WBC-12300 Neutrophils-24 Lymphocytes-71 Monocytes-3 Eosinophils-2 Basophils-0 Platelets-321000 Glucose-88
nothing if the RDW and MCV are normal
these are lab blood results
Yes you can, but as always you need some other points to make the calculation ie HCT(hematocrit) and your RBC(red blood count) MCV=HCT%*10 / RBC count (millions/mm3)
