Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. These all values are of rbc and platelets parameters.
MCV is mean corpuscles volume means avarage size of rbc. Same way MPV is mean platelet volume means average size of platelets. MCH is mean corpuscles hemoglobin and MCHCis mean corpuscles hemoglobin concentration. RDW is the red cell distribution width means variation in size of rbcs and same is for pdw. Neutrophil, lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes, basophils are the type of wbcs in differential count.
Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any further questions then you can ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
