Question

Sam Jejurikar, MD · Answer

MCV is really only looked at to help physicians determine the type of anemia their patient may have. Thus, if you are not anemic (hemoglobin and hematocrit are normal), your MCV is fairly irrelevant and should have no bearing on your ability to have surgery. Hope this helps! Sam Jejurikar, MD

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

MCV is the most useful value used to classify the type of anemia based on red cell morphology. The reference range for MCV is 80-96 fL/red cell in adults; your statement that your MCV is low will be analyzed by your PS to determine the type of anemia you have and its treatment  Leave it to his/her judgment to approve/disapprove proceeding with the BBL. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
