Information about MCV Mean Corpuscular Volume

Mean Corpuscular Volume, MCV, is a measure of the average size of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in a sample of blood. It is expressed in femtoliters (fL) and is determined by measuring the volume of a large number of red blood cells and taking the average.

The test is for you who want to gain insight into and a good overview of your blood values. Along with several other markers for red and white blood cells and platelets, MCV is also included in the complete blood count and b-cell test.

Some reasons why you should consider ordering an MCH test.

  • Detect and monitor anemia: The MCH test can help identify different types of anemia, including iron deficiency anemia and B12 deficiency anemia. Low MCH values can be an indication of insufficient hemoglobin production and thus anemia.
  • Evaluate blood diseases: Changes in the MCH value can be linked to possible blood diseases and medical conditions, such as thalassemia or hemoglobinopathies.
  • Optimize oxygen transport and energy level: By knowing your MCH value, you can gain insight into your ability to deliver enough oxygen to tissues and thus optimize your oxygen transport and energy level.

Proteins are specific nutrients made up of several combined amino acids. In the body, there are over 10,000 different proteins that form the building blocks of all tissues and other body parts and are used in several important processes such as forming cells, enzymes and hormones.
