Document Summary
Pcv is the hematocrit value expressed as the percentage of cellular elements with that of whole blood. Normal value of pcv: in males = 40 to 45, in females = 38 to a42% And cirrhosis of liver. (note: for an elective oral surgery the. Minimum hematocrit value should be 30: mean corpuscular volume (mcv, it is an average volume of single r. bc (normalis 80-90 ) When mcv is in increased, the cell is known as macrocyte (seen in. When mcv is decreased, the cell is known as microcyte (seen in iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia and in anemias associated with infectious andinflammatory diseases: mean corpuscular hemoglobin (mch) It is the amount of hemoglobin in one r. bc. It is increased in, pernicious and megaloblastic anemia. It is the concentration of hemoglobin in one rbc. It is decreased in iron deficiency anemia in which, rbc are microcytic and hypochromic: high mchc is seen in spherocytosis, colour index.
