On a hematology lab report, MCV usually is meant to indicate the mean cellular volume of red blood cells. Normal values for MCV are between 80-100 fL for most adults. A low MCV could indicate many different things. The most common or prevalent being anemia. There are many different kinds of anemia, and there is no way to diagnose anemia without other laboratory testing. It could be iron deficiency anemia or it could be a range of genetic variations in hemoglobin composition, known collectively as thalassemias.

High mcv and mch?

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.


What is if MCV and mch are low in blood test?

microcytic hypochromic anaemia


How do you increase mcv in blood?

my mcv in blood test is 77? my mch is 26 and my hemoglobin is 122. what does it mean?


What if your mch is 33.4?

mcv high


What does high mcv and mch and low rbc mean?

High mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) with low red blood cell count (RBC) could indicate a macrocytic anemia, which may be due to vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, liver disease, or hypothyroidism. Further investigation and consultation with a healthcare provider are necessary to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.


What does it mean if your mcv and mch are slightly elevated?

Elevated mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) levels can indicate conditions such as vitamin deficiencies, liver disease, or anemia. It is important to consult a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.


What is if rdw is high and mcv and mch are low in blood test?

High RDW (red cell distribution width) and low MCV (mean corpuscular volume) and MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin) in a blood test can indicate a mixed anemia, where there are varying sizes of red blood cells present in the blood. This can be seen in conditions such as iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, or chronic diseases. Further evaluation and testing are usually needed to determine the specific cause.


When a MCH is high and an RBC is low what can cause this?

When a MCH and an RBC and WBC is low, what can cause this"


Low mch and high rdw?

Low Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin High Red cell distribution width.


What does MCV on lab results?

MCV stands for Mean Corpuscular Volume, which measures the average size of red blood cells. High MCV values can indicate conditions like vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiencies, while low MCV values can indicate iron deficiency anemia or thalassemia.


What is t4free?

the T4-free,MCV,MCH,NEUTROPHILS AND LYMPHOCYTES affect the same way there are relater and dangerous and can you explain to me how everything work please and what should I do


What if MCV is low?

If you have low mean corpuscular volume then it means you have microcytic. This is a form of anemia when your red blood cells are smaller and paler than they should be.
