What causes high MCV and low Mean plasma glucose?

High MCV and low Mean plasma glucose can be caused by many reasons.

If your MCV is in between 83 fL and 101 fL and your Mean plasma glucose is in between 70 mg/dL and 116 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for MCV and Mean plasma glucose respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease MCV levels include:

• Aplastic anemia
• Cold agglutinin disease
• Chronic hypoxia
• Low vitamin B12 level
• Myelodysplastic syndrome

High MCV and low Mean plasma glucose can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take MCV and Mean plasma glucose blood tests and the results are higher than 101 fL for MCV and lower than 70 mg/dL for Mean plasma glucose, your physician may recommend more tests to figure out the problem. You might also get these tests if your physician thinks you have some other disease.
