Patient's question:
The baby is one and a half years old. The past two days, his throat was inflamed, and he had a blood test. The blood test report said: red blood cells were only 102, which is considered mild anemia. How should it be treated and what foods should be supplemented? The baby has anemia.Doctor's answer:
Anemia can lead to a decline in the body's immune function, resulting in frequent colds. Severe anemia should be treated with medication, while mild cases can be managed through dietary supplements.Hello! MCV in a complete blood count refers to the mean corpuscular volume, with a normal range of 80–94 fl.
(1) Increased: Macrocytic anemia.
(2) Decreased: Microcytic hypochromic anemia.
MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin: Normal range is 27.0–34.0 pg.
Clinical significance:
- MCH increased is seen in hemolytic anemia (due to increased extracellular hemoglobin).
- MCH decreased is seen in iron-deficiency anemia.
These tests should be combined with red blood cell count, hemoglobin levels, and clinical symptoms for a comprehensive evaluation.
