Mean Corpuscular Volume as a Marker for Adherence to Zidovudine-Containing Therapy in HIV-Infected Adults
OBJECTIVES To assess whether mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is useful in detecting non-adherence to AZTcontaining therapy. DESIGN Observational study within randomised controlled trial. METHODS We combined data from two treatment arms in SPARTAC, an RCT of short-course cART in primary HIV infection, classifying participants as responders (HIV-RNA decrease ≥1 log(10) or reaching <400copies/ml...
متن کاملStorage of blood and the mean corpuscular volume.
The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of blood after storage for up to 24 days under various temperature conditions in ethylene diamine tetracetic acid, acid citrate dextrose, citrate phosphate dextrose, and Alsever's solution was measured using the Coulter S. Storage of blood overnight at 23 degrees centigrade increased the MCV, while there was no significant change after similar storage at 4 degr...
متن کاملIncreased electronic mean corpuscular volume induced by marked hyperglycemia.
A very high glucose level in a diabetic was associated with an increased electronic mean corpuscular volume (MCV). The hematocrit was falsely high and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) falsely low, while the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) was normal. Blood smears failed to corroborate the abdominal indices. Correct values could be obtained by predilution of the blood in is...
متن کاملShould we screen for globin gene mutations in blood samples with mean corpuscular volume (MCV) greater than 80 fL in areas with a high prevalence of thalassaemia?
AIMS To investigate whether it is worthwhile, in areas where thalassaemia is common, to screen for globin gene mutations in subjects with a mean corpuscular volume (MCV) above 80 fL, especially in partners of known thalassaemia carriers. METHODS Blood samples from 95 subjects with MCV between 80 and 85 fL were screened for the presence of alpha globin gene mutations and the haemoglobin (Hb) E...
متن کاملMacrocytosis as an indicator of human disease.
Adult patients with macrocytosis, defined as a mean corpuscular volume (MCV) greater than 100 femtoliters, were studied to assess the importance of an elevated MCV. After eliminating pregnant and postpartum patients and patients receiving medications known to cause macrocytosis (e.g., phenytoin, zidovudine, and chemotherapeutic agents), 80 patients were identified and studied. Sixty-seven diagn...
