what is mcv in you blood count?

Answer 1

Mean corpuscular volume, as measure of the average size of your red blood cells. They can be larger than average or smaller than average, and if you also are anemic, can lead the doctor toward what may be the problem. High MCV could indicate B12 or folate deficiency, low MCV would make them think of iron deficiency.

The MCV is part of the CBC (complete blood count ) report. All the components of the CBC need to be considered for a proper interpretation of your blood status.

Answer 3

MCV gives an idea about the volume of hemoglobin in red blood cells (RBC's). If your RBC's size is smaller (less hemoglobin content) we call that MICROCYTIC (related to Iron deficiency anemia) or they are larger, we call them MACROCYTIC, you have deficiency of Vit. B12 and Folic acid; or you are an alcoholic heading toward liver cirrhosis!! If your RBC's are normal we call that NORMOCYTIC. Anemia deal with numbers of RBC's not with their contents.
