What causes high MCV and MCH count and low PLT count?
Patient: high MCV count and MCH count and low PLT count. Also the hematologist ordered I get blood extracted cause it is too thick. I went a couple of days ago and even with drinking plenty of water there blood could not be extracted. I am going back tomorrow and have been in low dose aspirin during. Please what are the causes and what could it be? Doctor: Welcome to H.C.M.  I Am Dr krishna Dubey.My pleasure to help you.(MCV) is the average size of the red blood cells.When the MCV is elevated (as in your case) the RBCs will be larger than normal and are termed macrocytic.The MCHC is  normal or increased  in macrocytic anemias as megaloblastic anemia.Low platelet are also common in megaloblastic anemia.Thick blood means there are chances of clot formation so your doctor is put you on Aspirin.I advise you to repeat your blood count and peripheral blood film.This will help us to find out the cause and further management.Thanx for query.
