A member asked:
Hi doc . i have a low mcv of 82. normal hemoglobin hematocrit and normal rdw . i am vegan . how do i increase this if its a cause for concern ? thanks?

This is of no concern. In fact, in a lot of labs, including the one I use, an MCV of 82 is considered normal. Despite being vegan, you should try to maintain an adequate amount of iron in your diet. But it sounds like you are doing a good job so far. Good luck.
