To increase MCV/MCH it is recommended that individuals add more iron and vitamin B6 to their diet. Eating vitamin C and fiber, along with foods that contain iron, may also help increase the MCH levels. Supplements for various vitamins are available to purchase online, including vitamin B12, vitamin C, folic acid, and iron

What is the normal range of Hematocrit?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had a blood test one month ago, which showed hemoglobin 17 g/dL and PCV 52 percent. Today, after full hydration, my blood test shows hemoglobin 15.7 g/dL and HCT/PCV 44.1 percent. Is this normal, or could it indicate polycythemia?
