[QUOTE="Saul, post: 93446, member: 16541"] I am not a Dr or an expert on anemia, but your MCV and MCH are just out or range. These indicate that your RBC size is a bit smaller than average and that the hemoglobin concentration in a RCB is a bit low. But, you have more RBC than average since your RBC count is high and your iron numbers look fine. I always thought that fatigue due to anemia was due to the blood not being able to carry enough oxygen to meet cellular needs. With your high RBC seems like you have enough RBC to carry sufficient oxygen and enough iron to make more RBC. Maybe your MCH is low enough to cause fatigue due to each RBC not carrying enough oxygen ?? I am on the other side. My RBC is often a bit low but my MCH and MCV are high, so my RBC size is bigger than average but I have a bit fewer RBC than average. Never been a problem for me and Dr. have said not to worry. Have you had ferritin checked? [/QUOTE]
