OverviewDefined As A Measure Of The Average Red Blood Cell, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) Is Also Reported As Part Of A Standard Complete Blood Count.MCV Can Be Determined By Dividing The Hematocrit By The Red Blood Cell Count Then Multiplying It By Ten. The Aftermath Is Basically Discussed In Femtolitres. If Ever It Has Been Known Through An Automated Machine, The Result Can Be In Comparison To RBC Morphology On A Peripheral Blood Smear. Any Variation Would Be Indictive Of Faulty Equipment Or Technician Mishap.The Normal Range Of Mean Corpuscular Volume Is Between 80- 96 Femtolitres. In A Condition Where The Person Has Pernicious Anemia, It Can Reach Up To 150 Femtolitres. Alcoholism Can Also Be A Factor For The Rise Of MCV. With Iron Deficiency Anemia, It Can Be As Low As 60- 70 Femtolitres. Cases Of Thalassemia, MCV Can Be Lesser Even When The Individual Does Not Have IDA. Keep In Mind That The Outcome Of Every Examination You Will Take Depends On The Machine That Is Used. Just Constantly Utilize Normal Range Printed On The Laboratory Report To Decipher What Is The Standard Scale.Causes (High Mean Corpuscular Volume)- Liver Disease Can Be One Of The Reasons. Known As The Largest Organ In The Human Body, It Is Responsible For Brushing Off Hazardous Chemical Elements And Produce Essential Substances. Cirrhosis Is A Disease The Damages The Liver And Can Also Bring About Elevated MCV. Another Is Too Much Alcohol.- Hypothyroidism Is A Condition Where The Thyroid Gland Is Not Functioning. It Is A Butterfly- Shaped Organ Found In Front Of The Neck That Generates A Natural Elements Known As Hormones That Affect Every Cell As Well As Other Functions That Combats Viruses. Myxedeme Is The Worst Form Of Hypothyroidism.- Myelofibrosis Is Where The Normal Bone Marrow Is Substituted By Fibrous Tisue. Marrow Aplasia Is The State Where The It Can Increase MCV Level, This Is Where The Bone Marrow Is Absent In The Opening Inside Of The Bones.- Reticulocytosis Is Where Reticulocytes In The Blood Are Growing In Number. - Too Little Folic Acid Or Vitamin B12 Can Also Be A Factor. It Is Essential In Normal Bodily Operations And Chemical Processes.Causes (Low Mean Corpuscular Volume)- Lead Poisoning And Long- Lasting Kidney Failure Can Also Be Grounds For Decrease In MCV Level. The Kidneys Are Two Organs That Are Found On Each Side Of The Spine Behind The Stomach. It Functions By Filtering Wastes From The Blood.- Lengthy- Term Depreciation Of Iron In The Body Is Also One Of The Considerations. Anemia Is Also One, It Is The Abnormality Of Hemoglobin In The Blood. Hemoglobin Is A Substance Present In The Red Blood Cells That Assist In Taking Oxygen To Cells. Group Of Disorders Characterized By Alterations In The Structure Of Hemoglobin Is Called Hemoglobinopathy.
