Hct suggest an anemia, which can be due to nutritional deficiencies, blood loss, and destruction of blood cells internally. Mean Corpuscular Volume or MCV helps to diagnose a cause of an anemia. There are so many other parameters in blood work results, which you could ask your doctor about....
When the MCV blood test has a HIGH number- even slightly- this means that the blood cells are too large and is called macrocytosis or Macrocytic Anemia. This SHOULD trigger a further workup from your doctor to find out why they are too large, but mild macrocytosis is very often ...
Rabenstein has reviewed much of the work in the area of red blood cell NMR spectroscopy. More recently, diffusion coefficient measurement has been used to study the binding between diphosphoglycerate and hemoglobin inside intact red blood cells.

The critical effect of Pb in the human body is mainly attributed to cellular enzymatic disruption of δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) that is essential in heme biosynthesis with a consequent decrease in various red blood cell hematological parameters (RDW-CV, MCV, MCH, and hematocrit) ...
From the perspective of blood traits, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and platelet count (PLT#) showed the greatest number of shared genetic variants and pleiotropic gene candidates (i.e., genes mapped to pleiotropic variants), respectively, while nucleated red blood cells showed the weakest evidence...
which results in increased MCV and HCT and decreased MCHC within 12 hours. Platelets tend to aggregate and degranulate, resulting in lower automated platelet counts and higher MPV values.18,45Electronically determined differential counts become less accurate with blood storage.7Nuclear swelling may be...

While young children likely have no differences in BP related to ethnicity, emerging data suggest that, at least in older children, race and ethnicity may be important factors influencing blood pressure. Blood pressure in young children is still assessed

There was a positive correlation between whole blood viscosity and Hct, Hb, packed-cell volume, and RBC count at both low and high shear, and the strength of correlation was similar in those with or without iron deficiency (Fig. 2).In contrast, MCV was unrelated to whole blood viscosity ...
