That’s interesting I have high MCv and High MCH but a normal MCHC. I was told my red blood cell are large and that my B12 and folate needed to be incorporated in my diet. Symptoms dizziness when I squat down, HA, tingling in my limbs, also intolerant to gluten it makes me itchy. Anyone relate?
Doc, Thanks for the information, its very helpful. Very helpful, mentioned possible causes, I check most of the box's. Additional blood work may be needed to get to the bottom of this. I really do appreciate your sharing of knowledge, thank You🫵. don't let the following bum ya out, its meant as constructive criticism Your message is what draws viewers not the latest trend in content presentation.

My mcv has remained at 93 to 98 for 7yrs. Hemoglobin is around 16 or 15 past 7 yrs. I've lost weight on purpose and eat healthy take vitamins. In a year nothing has changed. Worried ill get a stroke. My doctor isn't too concerned but I am. I think he is too busy to dig in. B12 and iron are good. Alt 33 normal.
hello can i increase my mcv cause i have thalassemia trait my mcv under 60% this is destroy my life because low mcv mean high red blood cell count due to imbalance of blood volume there any trick to increase mcv little bit i.m not talk about vitamins or minerals any drugs or whatever thanks i.m looking some ways how to fix this problem
Your video was very explanatory and in many ways helped me to understand why I might be having a condition called MCV! Recent blood tests were definitely showing abnormalities! Though indeed I am aware that whilst I work hard full time in the construction industry I tend to binge with alcohol at the weekends. I suppose I see this as a release and reward for a hard weeks work? At this point I know I need to make some lifestyle reductions/ changes NOW. Or face the consequences in the longer term?
If you are supplementing b12, then you can have a lot floating around in your blood. That doesn’t mean it’s getting into your cells where it needs to be. There are other tests you can take to see that.
@@swintegrative Dr. Terranella, I would be extremely grateful if you could take a look at my rather long question below. I am totally lost and can’t find proper medical assistance here in my home country 😔
Im 48 year old and my MCH is been low for years, always between 26.0 - 26.3. HgB between 13.1 - 14.1. Iron levels and other blood indicators are always between the acceptance criteria. What is your feedback on this scenario?
What u need to explore is are your B12 and folate levels really “fine” go deeper into the question. I have several videos on how to evaluate this. The basic tests are not always enough.
Sir My all report is normal My hamoglobin is normal , My platelets are normal , my W.B.C is normal , but R.B.C is high (6.89) my M.C.V is low 66.6 M.C.H is also low 20.6 PG My Symptoms = Shortness of breath What is this problem how can i treat it ?
MCH has more to do with hemoglobin concentration. keep in mind that most of these test need to be done multiple times to determine if it is high low or normal.
Hi Dr Thank you for the explanation... and sorry for m'y english, i'm from France. My little girl who IS 11 years old, has vgm 86.9 fl hémoglobine 13.6g/dl and hématocrite 41.3 % her folate IS 4.96 ng/ml. My doctor says she has'nt anémia because the hémoglobine IS not low but a little UP.... what do you think about this ? ❤
I don't do much with pediatrics low hemoglobin or rbc's is anemia. when the levels are low normal it could be indicator of deficiency of iron folate or b12.
Did they measure her B12, and was she well hydrated when the blood was drawn? Does she have symptoms that brought you to the doctor, or was it just an annual physical?
I have high MCV and MCH, but my B12 levels are optimal.

Chris Masterjohn recommends folinic acid instead of folate for high MCV to deal with the hypo DNA production
Folate is a broader term that includes folinic acid folic acid and methylfolate.
This was great! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent!
Thanks

No, I don’t think you can manipulate that
Your video was very explanatory and in many ways helped me to understand why I might be having a condition called MCV! Recent blood tests were definitely showing abnormalities!

I suppose I see this as a release and reward for a hard weeks work? At this point I know I need to make some lifestyle reductions/ changes NOW. Or face the consequences in the longer term?
That is hard to say for sure but that seems likely based on what you provided so far.
Great video thanks. Can u recommend a quality b complex?
Great vid; thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Hi Doctor, great video is it normal to have high MCV levels and very high Vitamin B12 levels ? Best,
Emma
No not really
I have this too 😮
If you are supplementing b12, then you can have a lot floating around in your blood. That doesn’t mean it’s getting into your cells where it needs to be. There are other tests you can take to see that.
What does a high Ugg blood test mean,a very high Ugg blood test like off the charts please Thank-you,
Hi. Mine been between 97 and 100 within 6 months. I’m a vegan. Any suggestion? Thank you. Just became a subscriber
my book "don't b12 deficient" goes into a lot of detail on this topic.
Veganism and low b12 go hand in hand. You need to supplement with a good b12 supplement or start eating some red meat.
Köszönjük!
Your welcome thank you. Appreciate it!
@@swintegrative Dr. Terranella, I would be extremely grateful if you could take a look at my rather long question below. I am totally lost and can’t find proper medical assistance here in my home country 😔
How about donating blood? After donating, shouldn't MCV be affected?
Good question but harder to definitely say. It depends on the situation but short answer yes it can.
I just had a blood test done and my MCV is 106.6 and my MCH IS 37.6. I am 70 years old, what does these numbers mean?
I’ve been super tired, lightheaded and achy. My MCV is 100. I am peri menopausal and having frequent and long periods. Could that be why? Thank you!!
Yes could be
Im 48 year old and my MCH is been low for years, always between 26.0 - 26.3. HgB between 13.1 - 14.1. Iron levels and other blood indicators are always between the acceptance criteria. What is your feedback on this scenario?
Please see video on low mcv
Hi I do not drink and my B12 and folate levels are fine, but my MCV is at 104. My platelets are at 38. What could be wrong? Thanks
What u need to explore is are your B12 and folate levels really “fine” go deeper into the question. I have several videos on how to evaluate this. The basic tests are not always enough.
@@swintegrative Thank you. 😊
Is 93.5 high? B12 deficiency? Thank you
Sir My all report is normal My hamoglobin is normal
, My platelets are normal
, my W.B.C is normal ,
but
R.B.C is high (6.89)
my M.C.V is low 66.6
M.C.H is also low 20.6 PG
My Symptoms = Shortness of breath
What is this problem how can i treat it ?
Someone mentioned giving blood if you are taking Testosterone, is that true or something you should do as a male?
Only when your hematocrit is high. Your doctor should be tracking that though
@@swintegrative When you say tracking, I assume taking blood work. How often should someone on TRT be getting blood work done in your opinion?
Hey doctor my mch is 34.0 I have notice that after I eat filling shortness of breath. Can you give your opinion.
What about people who have high MCH and never consumed alcohol? I have parathyroid disease. Can that cause high MCH numbers?
MCH has more to do with hemoglobin concentration. keep in mind that most of these test need to be done multiple times to determine if it is high low or normal.
MCV is around 75.7 can u tell me what cause it
There is a video on low MCV that will be helpful for you.
Can i take hmg together trt instead of hcg??
you can i think it is harder to get and may not work as good. I have never used it.
Hey.. my father have high mcv level that is 117.3 fl. And also the mchc level comes down to 26 .
Can you please tell me , is it to worry or not??
Well those levels are high as u stated so it’s not ideal for the body.
Can drinking lots of coffee make your mcv high?
Well coffee has been shown to increase rx of b vitamins so f on that sense it could
What Does It Mean If Your MCV Blood Test Is low? :)) mine was 82 fl..
I will make a video on this topic.. most common is low iron. There are other causes
