scilearner Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Hello everyone, MCV is packed cell volume divide by RBC count. Now I know reticulocytes increase in haemolytic anaemia. Why is that, is it to compensate for lost RBC? I want to know how this affects MCV. When you measure packed cell volume, do you measure the volume of blood occupied by RBC only or RBC+reticulocytes. Then when you measure RBC count do you count RBC only or RBC+reticulocytes. I just want to where the error occurs. Thanks
