Question
Hello doctor,
I went for a test and the result is MCV: 90.4 ; MCH index: 30.5 ; MCHC index: 337 ; platelet count 286 and white blood cell count 6.2. Do you belong to the group of people with congenital hemolysis and how do you recognize hemolysis?

Hello,
With the question “Recognizing thalassemia” Congenital blood like? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The test you asked for belongs to the peripheral blood cytology test. Indicators MCV:90.4 ; MCH index: 30.5 ; MCHC index: 337 shows normal erythrocytes, average size. A platelet count of 286 and a white blood cell count of 6.2 were within normal limits.
A blood cell count indicates that you have hemolysis if the results are outside of the following values:
MCV normal 85-95 fl. Normal MCH 28-32pg. Normal MCHC is 320-360g/l. With your test results, it is less likely to think that you belong to the group of people with congenital hemolysis. However, to detect congenital hemolysis, invite you to a medical facility for a hemoglobin test.
If you still have questions about congenital hemolysis, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
