Is MCV 75.8 low, normal or dangerous? What does Mean corpuscular volume level 75.8 mean?

📅 Medical Review Date: November 16, 2025

Your MCV level of 75.8 is a Low MCV level.

An MCV level of 75.8 fL usually means red blood cells are smaller than normal. It suggests microcytic anemia. Low levels of MCV can cause fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, brittle nails, craving for ice or dirt, and dizziness. This can be caused by iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, lead poisoning, or chronic disease. Further tests are often needed to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

Low 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.

The normal MCV range for men is :83 - 101 fL
