When a MCH and an RBC and WBC is low, what can cause this"

∙ 14y agoHigh mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) with low red blood cell count (RBC) could indicate a macrocytic anemia, which may be due to vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, liver disease, or hypothyroidism. Further investigation and consultation with a healthcare provider are necessary to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
No, but lack of iron could cause a low MCH
iron deficiency
Low Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin High Red cell distribution width.
RBC 5.67 is little bit high. The normal value of RBC is between 3-5.
A low Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) level typically indicates that there is less hemoglobin in the red blood cells than normal. This can be due to conditions such as iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, or chronic diseases that affect red blood cell production. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is needed to determine the underlying cause.
RBC is red blood cell count, they carry oxygen through the blood stream, could cause anemia.
its depends on patient condition such as bronchitis...maybe due to dehydration
Low mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in a complete blood count (CBC) may indicate iron deficiency anemia or thalassemia. Further evaluation, including iron studies and hemoglobin electrophoresis, is usually necessary to determine the underlying cause.
Constricting the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys can lead to reduced oxygen levels in the kidney tissue. This can trigger the release of erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow. Over time, this can increase the production of red blood cells to compensate for the low oxygen levels.
If the red blood cell count is low, the patient has anemia. Anemia can cause fatigue by leading to inadequate oxygenation of the tissues.
A high mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) level may indicate larger than normal red blood cells. A low red cell distribution width (RDW) suggests uniformity in red blood cell sizes. A low iron saturation level may point towards iron deficiency, impacting the body's ability to produce healthy red blood cells. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is recommended to understand the underlying cause and determine appropriate treatment.
