Re: [CML] MCV

[Joseph Belensky]

Livia, The following was copied from http://www.amarillomed.com/howto.htm from an article on "How to interpret your blood test results" Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) - This helps diagnose a cause of an anemia. Low values suggest iron deficiency, high values suggest either deficiencies of B12 or Folate, ineffective production in the bone marrow, or recent blood loss with replacement by newer (and larger) cells from the bone marrow. Read the rest of the article on the meaning of other blood test results. Hope this helps, Joseph Belensky   ----- Original Message ----- From: livia klescova To: cml@yahoogroups.com Sent: 09/22/2005 2:19 PM Subject: [CML] MCV When my blood test is done I always get results for MCV.  It is slowly increasing and there is one star and H.  So I assume it is high.  Do you know what it is MCV? Also for the first time I had a note on my result RBC Morphology saying 1+ macrocytes.  Again I do not know what it is.  Can you help me to understand it?
