	Red Blood Cell Indices - Definition, Purpose, Description, Diagnosis/Preparation, Aftercare, Risks, Normal results
		The hematocrit is the percentage of blood by volume that is occupied by the red cells.
		MCV is calculated by dividing the hematocrit (as percent) by the RBC count in millions per microliter of blood, then multiplying by 10.
		It is calculated by dividing the standard deviation (a measure of variation) of RBC volume by the MCV and multiplying by 100.

		The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) -- the size of the red blood cells
		The results can reflect problems with fluid volume (such as dehydration) or loss of blood.
		MCV, MCH, and MCHC values reflect the size and hemoglobin concentration of individual cells and are useful in the diagnosis of various types of anemia.

	Red blood cell indices (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		It measures the average volume of a red blood cell by dividing the hematocrit by the RBC.
		Normocytic anemias have normal-sized cells and a normal MCV; microcytic anemias have small cells and a decreased MCV; and macrocytic anemias have large cells and an increased MCV.
		A measure of the average volume of a red blood cell.
