Slightly rasied MCV, but liver and kidney shown normal on the blood test report?

Question

Hi 

I asked this question previously and realised that I have some responses but the webpage isnt showing any answers unfortunately so I would like to see if anyone could answer this again and hopefully i can retreive the answers.

Recently I contracted with Gastro so my doctor sent me to do a blood test. Now my Gastro is going away (I believe) and my test result shows that everything is normal including liver and kidney, however, my MCV is slightly raised (>98) and so I have to run another blood test. I am just wondering as my liver and kidney shown normal on the test, is there chance that the raised of MCV have anything to do with liver and kidney diseases?

Also, what else could that be for the slightly raised MCV?

* I am not alcoholic.

Thank you so much in advance

This has to do with your blood cells and not your liver
or kidneys.  You can read about this here; just click
on it:

According to what you stated as your results, it falls
within normal range.  However, each lab has an idea
of what they consider to be normal range.  

No one blood test is 100% accurate.  When you have
your next blood tests...you might see this go back into
the labs normal level.  If it goes higher, then I would
speak with your doctor about it.  It could be a sign
of anemia...without all the tests results...it is not possible
to say here.

hope this helps.
