If the amount of air a person can exhale is reduced by a certain percentage, the test is positive for asthma.

MCV is an acronym found in the results of lab. blood tests. MCV stands for "mean corpuscular volume". It refers to the average volume of red blood cells or erythrocytes. MCV is important when we want to determine the type of anemia (anemia - a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin and/or the number of red blood cells). In microcytic anemia (e.g., iron deficiency), the MCV is decreased, while in macrocytic anemia (e.g., vitamin B12 deficiency), the MCV is increased.
