Hi, I am a 29 year old female and had some blood work done last week. Just wondering if somebody could explain what these mean.
RBC - 5.40 (normal 4.0-5.20)
MCV - 78.8 (normal 81-94)
MCH - 27.0 (28-32)
AST - 3. (normal 5.-34.)
Thank you so much for your help!!

Hello,
Could you get a complete blood test done for yourself. A low MCV is usually pointing to Thalassemia(Minor) which needs to be diagonised. Hemoglobin Electrophoresis is a good test and will give a better picture. Also, Iron tests need to be done
Talk to your hematologist about Thalassemia if you suspect it.
