A member asked:

What treatment should a person having low mcv, mch and mchc go for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Find the cause: If you have thalassemia minor, it's a problem only if you are considering becoming a parent with someone who is also affected. If you have iron deficiency, you need to find the cause -- anything from heavy periods to non-supplementing vegetarianism to stomach ulcer / colon cancer.
