MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume)
MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) measures the average size of red blood cells, aiding in diagnosing anaemia types. Elevated MCV may indicate macrocytic anaemia, while low MCV suggests microcytic anaemia. Normal MCV ranges from 80 to 100 femtolitres. Blood tests determine MCV, influencing appropriate treatment plans.
