MCH is short for "mean corpuscular hemoglobin." It's the average amount in each of your red blood cells of a protein called hemoglobin, which carries oxygen around your body. It's possible you'll learn about MCH when you get a blood test called a CBC (complete blood count).Dec 9, 2021
Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a test that measures the average size of platelets in the blood. Platelets are small cells that help with blood clotting to stop bleeding when there is an injury. An MPV blood test can indicate the cause of bleeding disorders and also identify some types of cancers. The normal range for MPV is between 7.5-11.5 fL, and a high MPV means that platelets are larger than average which can indicate various health conditions. A patient with an MPV beyond the range of 7.2-11.7 fL should be carefully evaluated, especially for arterial diseases. MPV is often included in blood tests, and it can be used to diagnose various health conditions depending on the level of the MPV.
