What Does My Blood Test Report Indicate?
i RECENTLY HAD BLOOD TEST. THE NURSE HAD CALLED AND SAID THE RESULTS WERE ACCEPTABLE. I REQUESTED A COPY. THERE ARE TWO THINGS HIGHLIGHTED ON THE TEST. MY MCV IS 110.7 WHICH IS HIGH, ACCORDING TO THE STANDARD RANGE, AND MY MCHC IS 27.8, WHICH IS LOW, ACCORDING TO THE STANDARD RANGE. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
