What is MCV in infants?

Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) – MCV is measured directly by automated blood cell counters and represents the mean value (in femtoliters [fL]) of the volume of individual RBCs in the blood sample. Normal values for MCV vary based upon age (infants have increased MCV compared with older children) (table 1).

What does high MCV in child mean?

What does high MCV in a child mean? High MCV is indicative of a larger-than-average size of RBCs, which could be due to: Folate deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency. Liver disease.

What is a normal hemoglobin for a 4 year old?

Why is neonate MCV high?

MCV of newborn infants is greater than that of adults because of young red cells. There is a negative correlation between blood viscosity and MCV.
