MCV blood count — Norya

What do high or low MCV mean?

MCV (mean cell volume) shows the average size of red blood cells. Low MCV often relates to iron deficiency or anaemia of chronic disease; high MCV may relate to B12 or folate deficiency—neither is a diagnosis on its own. Haemoglobin, ferritin, B12, and folate are interpreted together by your doctor.
