What does MCV level of 111 suggest?
Patient: Hi, I had a recent pre-op blood test and they were concerned my MCV level was 111. I have always been a drinker and currently consume, around 60 units a week, although sometimes it is zero or sometimes a little higher. I am thinking of seeing GP to discuss, should I ? Doctor: Hi, mcv is suggestive of rbc size.lts the mean value for rbc size. And its quite high in your case.so you have macrocytosis. Its quite common in alcoholics. Macrocytosis mostlydue to Vit B12 deficiency. so you need to check your vit B12 level and ps examination. if it is suggestive of b12 deficiency then take treatment accordingly.
