What is MCV in a blood work test? | Dr Rajib Paul | Apollo Hospitals

Dr Rajib Paul from Apollo Hospitals explains the significance of MCV, or Mean Corpuscular Volume, a key parameter found in your Complete Blood Count (CBC) report. MCV helps doctors identify whether you have anemia and what type it may be. A high MCV often indicates deficiencies in vitamin B12 or folic acid, while a low MCV suggests iron deficiency anemia or conditions like thalassemia. In rare cases, abnormal MCV levels may also point to more serious conditions such as bone marrow cancers, including myelodysplastic syndrome. Understanding your MCV value allows physicians to make accurate diagnoses and guide the right course of treatment. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Apollo Hospitals is the leading multi-specialty hospitals group in India.
