What for m v. c. mean for blood tests?

MCV: Stands for 'mean corpuscular volume' and is an estimate of the average size of red blood cells in that specimen. In and by itself the value has no meaning outside of the total interpretation of the history, physical and other lab values. Talk to your doctor.

Mean Cell Volume: You probably meant mcv. Mean corpuscular volume or mean cell volume - MCV is a measure of the average red blood cell volume. In case of anemia - it can help differentiate between different types of causes of anemia.
