Question:
Hi Everyone, I hope the weekend was a good one. I have a question about my blood tests. What is the MCV, and the MCH ? What is the significance of reading that are above the normal range? My hemaglobin is in the low range of normal. Just thought I would mention this, in case it is important along with the other readings. You are all so smart. I know someone will have an answer. I will report on trip to see FIL and the dog illness later. I am so tired that I had trouble holding my arms up to do my hair. I had to go to the city today for my B12 and blood test. BJ-gathering blankets and teddies for sleep
Response:
BJ. The MCV is mean corpuscular volume: The MCH mean corpuscular hemoglobin: MCHC mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration: But I do not know the significance of them being in the above normal range. Glad that you are home. Get some rest and then report in on the trip!!!! Hugs, Sherry "BJ" <B…@sk.nojunk.ca> wrote in message

Hi BJ Welcome back and hope you’re resting comfy with blankets and teddies. Missed ya 
MCV and MCH and hemoglobin are mentioned here http://www.mtio.com/lupus/lfalt1.htm what it all means I don’t know. MCV mentions B12.

BJ, welcome back, funny thing was, I had no access to the Group, and did not know you were gone. J gave a good site as to what is normal and what not in blood tests. Just read that and I was told that mine are like yours. NOT to worry, was told that it had to do with hydration in your body also. LAY MAN’s term. How much water you got in there . LOL. So as long as it is not out of wack big time, don’t worry about it. Sometimes meds can also give a false reading and if the reading is right, then the doctors have to look at OTHER blood tests to determine IF something is hay wire. YOUR is ok, only again, if it is WAY OUT of wack along with other stuff… good to be here again janers

Hi J, Thank you. I told my husband that if I posted I knew you would have a website in no time. I went there and do understand the meaning. The number of megaloblastic red cells is increasing. I am just not sure why that would be happening. I have pernicous anemia, but am getting treatment. Perhaps I need my shots more often. I see my rheumy this month, so I will ask her. You are a peach.

Measures coagulation rates. High numbers *could* but not definitely mean a higher risk for DVT, PE and other clotting problems. There’s another test that would determine that more accurately. Ask the doctor to be sure – I’m just a person who has a lot of tests done.
