📅 Medical Review Date: November 21, 2025

MCV 141.1

Your MCV level of 141.1 is a High MCV level.

An MCV level of 141.1 fL usually means red blood cells are larger than normal. It suggests macrocytic anemia. High levels of MCV can cause fatigue, pale skin, shortness of breath, dizziness, irritability, numbness in hands and feet, and difficulty walking. This can be caused by vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, liver disease, alcohol use disorder, or hypothyroidism. Further tests are often needed to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

High MCV levels may indicate underlying health problems. The normal range is typically between 83 fL and 101 fL. If your levels are outside this range, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider. Consulting a doctor is recommended to determine the cause and appropriate next steps.
