Iron deficiency also results in more variable red blood cell size (>20% RDW), and smaller (low MCV) and paler red blood cells (low MCH) [48, 49]. Nutrient deficiency of either folate or vitamin B12 results in enlarged red blood cells (megaloblastic anemia), with an MCV increased to a range of 105 to 160 fl [ 49 ].
Li et al. have recently shown in one-single arm meta-analysis of 1994 patients a blood count finding of increased CRP (44.3%), leukocytopenia (29.4%), and lymphocytopenia (64.5%) . Laboratory data analysis of 452 patients by Qin et al. showed patients with higher leukocytes count and lower percentages of monocytes, basophils, and eosinophils
The mean cell hemoglobin or MCH is a calculated red blood cell (RBC) index that gives an indication of the average amount (in pg) of hemoglobin in the red blood cells (RBC). It is calculated from the spectrophotometrically measured hemoglobin concentration (after lysis of RBCs) and RBC count so it represents the amount of hemoglobin per RBC.

high red blood cell count but low mcv and mch
