Elevated MCV

Hello HarleyRider,
I agree with Marlene and Cathybee1 but would be very surprised if your primary care doctor or hematologist has not already checked a B12 level and MMA. Most doctors would check a B12 and folate level when the MCV is high and they have not made a diagnosis yet. I suggest that you ask for copies of all your blood work that has been done recently and ask them if you've had these tests. You may well have MDS but at least the more easily treatable things need to be ruled out which I assume has been done, but you never know until you check it out. Good Luck! tytd
