Most often this is due to iron deficiency, but it can also occur in other red blood cell production (hematopoietic) abnormalities.
MCHC it's how much of the volume in one erythrocyte is occupied by meoglobin. MCHC=(Hb%/pcv%) *100 normal value = 30%-38% while MCV it's the amount of hemoglobin in one erythrocyte. mcv = (pcv/RBCs)*10 normal value 27-32pg (picogram)
these are lab blood results
Evening primrose oil , very high in GLA, has been used for decades to treat medical conditions.
Spironolactone is used to control high blood pressure and reduce high levels of the hormone aldosterone. However it can also be used to treat hormonal acne as well as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in women.
my MCV is high 98 is that dangerous?
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.
normally it is high in megaloblastic anaemia.
mcv high
nothing if the RDW and MCV are normal
iron deficiency
The reference range for MCV is 80-96 fL/red cell in adult. Anything over 100 would be considered to be high. High MCV indicates macrocytic (large average RBC size).The common causes of macrocytic anemia (increased MCV) are: folate deficiency anemia, Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, liver disease, hemolytic anemias, hypothyroidism, excessive alcohol intake, aplastic anemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
High MCV, high triglycerides, high AST and ALT with raised lymphocytes most likely indicates some form of hepatitis (liver inflammation), most likely viral, possibly bacterial. AST and ALT are enzymes that normally reside in liver cells and when they are damaged, they leak into the blood. High MCV also known as macrocytosis can occur in liver damage and the high lymphocyte count indicates your body is fighting some sort of infection.
There are many different symptoms you can experience if you have a low MCV count. Some of these symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, having pale skin, and angina.
In advanced stages of Emphysema your red blood cells can be affected and it can cause them to have a high MCV blood result reading. Infections can also cause the red blood cells to rise as well.
Normal MCV value for women
High levels of both mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and monocytes may indicate a variety of conditions such as vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, myeloproliferative disorder, or chronic inflammatory diseases. Further testing and evaluation by a healthcare provider is recommended to determine the underlying cause.
