Question : How long dose it take for an MCV to normalise . It was elevated 6 months ago when I stopped drinking

Brief Answer:
Time for MCV normalization

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

It will take 3 to 4 months for MCV to normalize completely after stopping alcohol consumption. Since you have abstained from alcohol intake for almost 6 months now, your MCV should be normal now.

Hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you need further clarification.

Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi
