What causes high MCV and low Segmented Neutrophils?
High MCV and low Segmented Neutrophils can be caused by many reasons.
If your MCV is in between 83 fL and 101 fL and your Segmented Neutrophils is in between 40 % and 80 % then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for MCV and Segmented Neutrophils respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

- Cold agglutinin disease
