Relating to blood cells what does MCV stand for?
MCV stands for the mean cell volume, or average cell volume, of our red blood count. In a complete red blood count, this volume is measured by comparing the number of packed red blood cells against regular blood cells. Hematocrit, which is a substance that packs these red blood cells was directly linked to Lance Armstrong‰Ûªs blood doping allegations.

What is the difference between packed cell volume and red cell count?
Red blood cell count (RBC-count) is the number of erythrocytes in one liter of blood.Packed cell volume (PCV) is the percentage of erythrocytes in one liter of blood. Thus, PCV is a measure of the totalvolume of red blood cells in a sample, while RBC-count is the number of red blood cells in a sample, MCV- mean corpuscular volume is the mean volume of erythrocytes in a sample, thus:PCV = RBC-count x MCV

What is MCH and MCHC?
MCH stands for mean corpuscular hemoglobin, which measures the average amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. MCHC stands for mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, which measures the concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of packed red blood cells. Both are important parameters used in the analysis of red blood cells in a complete blood count (CBC) test.
