What Do High MCV And MCH Levels Indicate?
Question: Is this suggestive of macrocytic or megablastic anemia. mcv 98.9 high and mch 33.9 high. hgb 15.1 and hct 44.1
Brief Answer:
you are not anemic
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Your mcv level and mch levels are not too high . They are within normal range but on higher side. Mcv range is 80 -100 and mch is 27-33. Mch upto 34 without anemia is taken normal. Hct is also near to Normal range.
Your HB is in normal range. So you are not suffering from megaloblastic anemia. With above valves if your Hb was low then it fits into the criteria of macrocytic or megaloblastic anemia.
Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Are there any conditions that those values would be consistent with? Thanks
Brief Answer:
normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
With your Hb normal these all fall in normal category. They won't fit in any disease conditions.
As Hb is normal these values are also be taken as normal because they fall in normal range itself.
If your Hb was low then this may fit in megaloblastic anemia. If your Hb was high then it may fit in lung disease or smoking or staying in high altitude etc.
