To have a low MCH (<33 pg/cell) in your CBC should be a concern, especially if your MCV, MCHC, and hematocrit blood test show a below-normal result. This indicates problems in the hemoglobin formation of the red blood cells, which characterize anemia.
18 Δεκ 2020 · MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) describes the average size of the RBCs (Red Blood Cell). A low MCV indicates that the red blood cell size appears smaller than normal (microcytic). A low MCV value may be due to three main causes: Iron deficiency anemia. Thalassemia. Anemia of chronic disease/inflammation.

Microcytosis describes red blood cells that are smaller than normal. You have microcytosis if your mean corpuscular volume (MCV) value on a blood test is less than 80 femtoliters (fL). Microcytosis may be a sign of microcytic anemia, a condition that’s usually caused by an iron deficiency. What is microcytosis?
