[|Human|] How long does it take to lower MCV and MCH values (at 101.5 and 34.5, respectively)?  I have been drinking about 1-2 drinks per night most nights of the week (usually on an empty stomach) for the past year, and just got blood results back.  I was quite startled, and a bit afraid.  Needless to say, I stopped drinking!
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your MCV is high. It suggests larger size of RBC. It is commonly seen in vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency, liver disease & hypothyroidism. Alcoholic liver disease is common cause. Just avoid alcohol and take vitamin B12 and folic acid supplements. Your MCV will come back to normal within few weeks. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you very good health.
