Various factors: There are 3 red blood cell measurements that correlate with various types of anemia. They are mcv. Mch, and mchc. These factors help determine the cause of different types of anemia. The most common reason for the MCV to be low is with blood loss anemia (known as iron deficiency anemia). This can also occur with insufficient ingestion of iron or with disorders of hemoglobin like sickle cell.

Mean PLATELET volume: This is a machine-generated measure of how big your platelets are. If you are otherwise well, and your physician is not concerned, i would simply ignore it.
