table: Sample CBC in microcytic anemia
editThe narrative description below the table incorrectly describes three of the analyte results as "mean". They should instead be called "low" as all three results are below their respective normal reference ranges. For example, the normal range for the analyte MCV is 77-98 so the tabled result of 76 should be described as "low red cell volume (MCV)" rather than "mean red cell volume (MCV)". Hup E.

- Mean cell volume, mean cell hemoglobin and mean cell hemoglobin concentration are the actual names of the analytes. I've rephrased the caption to avoid confusion. Spicy (talk) 08:40, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. I see my confusion now. I tripped on our English language rules. Your rephrased caption is clear. Awesome article Spicy! Hup E. Lee (talk) 23:02, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
