Well miracles of miracles...she picked it up from a CBC
For those that don't know
MCV......The normal reference range is typically 80-100 fL[1].
High
In presence of hemolytic anaemia, presence of reticulocytes can increase MCV. In pernicious anemia (macrocytic), MCV can range up to 150 femtolitres. An elevated MCV is also associated with alcoholism[2] (as are an elevated GGT and a ratio of AST:ALT of 2:1). Vitamin B12 and/or Folic Acid deficiency has also been associated with macrocytic anemia (high MCV numbers
and i'm positive its not due to your Margarittas!!
And MCH.......
MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin)
Hemoglobin x 10
R.B.C.
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) gives the average weight of hemoglobin in the red blood cell. Due to its use of red blood cells in its calculation, MCH is not as accurate as MCHC in its diagnosis of severe anemia's. Decreased MCH is associated with microcytic anemia and increased MCH is associated with macrocytic anemia.
