Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) measures the average size of your red blood cells. It is an important parameter in diagnosing types of anemia. An elevated MCV may indicate macrocytic anemia, often caused by vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, while a low MCV points to microcytic anemia, commonly due to iron deficiency. Knowing the MCV helps doctors determine the specific cause of anemia and guide treatment, such as iron supplements or vitamin B12 injections, depending on the underlying deficiency.
