My MCV is 79.1 (and I know that it is below the range 80) I would really appreciate if you could help me what is the problem and for the marriage is there any problem with this result? 29 years old, 179 cm height, 103 Kg weight, no special medical problem, Im giving blood every 4 or 5 months, I drink tea often (4-5 glasses each day)
Hi, your MTV value is almost near normal. MCV is the mean corpuscle volume. It indicates the average size of RBC's. So low MTV means that you have microcytic RBC. It is seen in iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia minor etc. but you said that you are donating blood every 4 to 6 months that means your he level is also normal and you don't have any abnormality. So just be relaxed, don't worry.it's not a problem. And it will not great any problem after marriage. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.
