Know More about MEAN CORPUSCULAR VOLUME; MCV

The Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) test measures the average size of your red blood cells. Determined as part of a normal complete blood count (CBC), the MCV test gives doctors the tools to diagnose and classify the types of anemia that can lead to symptoms involving fatigue, weakness, and dizziness. The test can also provide information about possible nutrition deficiencies, liver problems, or thyroid problems. 

Process

  • Our lab technician will take a small blood sample from a vein in your arm.
  • The sample is sent to the lab and analyzed via an automated machine.
  • The MCV result is reported in your CBC.

When to Get Tested

You may have this test if you’re experiencing symptoms such as tiredness, pale skin, or shortness of breath. It can also be done as part of a routine assessment or if you have a chronic medical condition affecting your blood.

Sample Type

A small blood sample is obtained, usually from a vein in your arm.

Test Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is necessary. Advise your doctor about all medicines and supplements you are taking.

Understanding Your Results

MCV values reveal whether your red blood cells are small, normal, or large. A small MCV indicates types of anemia, and similarly for larger MCv values means more types of anemia or other health issues. Abnormal MCV values usually indicate that your physician would require follow-up tests to better diagnose.
