Erythrocyte Mean Corpuscular Volume Associated with Severity of Peripheral Arterial Disease: An Angiographic Evaluation

Association of hematocrit with blood pressure and hypertension

“…The association between HGB and HTN was also investigated in a recent cross‐sectional study on Korean population in where they showed a positive association between HGB level with SBP and DBP . Some studies showed that mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is a hypertension‐related risk factor, whereas others showed no relationship between MCV and hypertension . Babu et al.…”

Mean corpuscular volume is associated with endothelial dysfunction and predicts composite cardiovascular events in patients with chronic kidney disease

“…Only a few studies evaluated the role of macrocytosis in patients peripheral arterial disease, haemodialysis patients and patients with coronary artery disease undergoing PCI …”

“…It has been used principally to distinguish megaloblastic anaemia usually due to vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiencies. 18 Only a few studies evaluated the role of macrocytosis in patients peripheral arterial disease, 19 haemodialysis patients 10 and patients with coronary artery disease undergoing PCI. 11 This present study differs in some points from previous studies in which macrocytosis were also shown to be associated with adverse clinical endpoints.…”

Higher Leukocyte Subpopulation Counts in Healthy Smoker Industrial Workers than in Nonsmoker Industrial Workers: Possible Health Consequences

“…Since folate and vitamin B 12 are essential components in the synthesis and repair of DNA, a deficiency of folate or vitamin B 12 may lead to a higher MCV due to impaired cell division [29]. Our findings that smoker industrial workers have significantly higher MCV than nonsmoker industrial workers may have public health implications because individuals with higher MCV are prone to developing peripheral vascular disease [30]. …”
