My MCH [Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin] and MCV have been elevated for 6 years now. At the same time, my RBCs [red blood cells] nave been low. I am told I have anemia of chronic disease. My hemoglobin and hematacrit are most always normal, so I don't have anemia from low blood volume. My anemia results from the immaturity of the red blood cells thatr I make. Occasionally mildly elevated MCH or MCV values are not normally a concern, just something that is watched.
