understanding MCV results
Hi everyone.
Evan's MCV has always been high since diagnosis. In the beginning or when he's had a transfusion of reds or plates, it's been lower around 98 but often, like now, it's really high. He's starting to show some signs his marrow is waking up from IST, so is that the reason why his MCV is 105? In view of where he's at right now, is this to be expected, is this a good sign or not?
I'm having trouble understanding this as well as the RDW result.
Thanks and have a good day.
