Elevated Mcv, Scheduled For Ultrasound, Taking Neoproxen For Knee Pain. Could That Cause Elevation?
Hello Doctor. I was recently found with a104 mcv blood test count. My family doctor has setup an appointment for an ultrasound and some additional testing as a precautionary measure. I plan to go forward with all scheduled testing. The question I have which I forgot to inform my doctor is that I ve been on Neoproxen for my knee main (full replacement coming up in Nov) for a number of years. Some days taking one and some days taking two Neoproxen pills. Could this be one of the causes for a high MCV blood test result? Thank you and I await your response.
I read your query and it seems that MCV is not been elevated because of Naproxen Pills . Naproxen Tablet is NSAIDS for your Knee pain and it does not seems to affect your MCV unless you have decreased liver function . Your doctor suggested you Ultrasound to know the cause of elevated level of MCV in your blood . Possibilities of elevated MCV are due to Vitamin B12 and Folic acid deficiency which caused macrocytic anemia . Ultrasound will say the functioning capacity of LIVER and KIDNEY to know root cause of elevated MCV .
I Suggest you to have healthy diet along with vitamins and folic acid supplementations .
Wishing you a very healthy life. Hope this information is helpful to you. Thanks & Take Care.
