The mean corpuscular volume, or `mean cell volume`(MCV), is a measure of the average volume of a red blood corpuscle (or red blood cell). The measure is attained by multiplying a volume of blood by the proportion of blood that is cellular (the hematocrit (or haematocrit)), and dividing that product by the number of erythrocytes (red blood cells).....

(MCV) The typical volume of one erythrocyte (red blood cell). Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is expressed in femto-liters (fl). Normal human values of MCV range from 80 to 100 fl. Abnormal values are referred to as micro- or macro-cythaemia. MCV can be calculated as Hct/RBC (i.e....

(MCV) the average volume of erythrocytes, conventionally expressed in cubic micrometers or femtoliters (μm3 = fL) per erythrocyte. It is obtained by multiplying the hematocrit (in L/L) by 1000 and dividing by the erythrocyte count (in millions per μL): MCV = Hct/RBC. Automated electronic blood cell counters ge...
