What Does This Blood Report Indicate?

Hello,
The hemoglobin level and red blood cell levels are within the normal range. The MCV is low. MCV is a calculated parameter and depends on red blood cell count and hematocrit.
Due to red blood cell count on the slightly higher side, MCV may below. I suggest you get a peripheral blood smear examination also to know the size of red blood cells.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
