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.
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.
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 your mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is low and red cell distribution width (RDW) is high, it could indicate a condition called microcytic anemia, which is characterized by smaller-than-normal red blood cells with increased variation in size. This could be due to iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, or other conditions affecting red blood cell production and size. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is necessary to determine the underlying cause.
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)
A complete blood count (CBC) typically includes measurements of red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, platelets, and sometimes additional indices such as mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC).
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
microcytic hypochromic anaemia
my mcv in blood test is 77? my mch is 26 and my hemoglobin is 122. what does it mean?

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.
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.
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).
nothing if the RDW and MCV are normal
Well, honey, that fancy jumble of letters basically means your blood has high red blood cell count, small red blood cells, low hemoglobin concentration per red blood cell, and a high variation in red blood cell size. It could indicate conditions like iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, or chronic disease. Time to chat with your doctor and figure out what's going on in that bloodstream of yours.
