Slide 9 of 25

As we can see only Hemoglobin, hematocrit and Red cell count have gender differences. The rest of the values ( what we call red cell indices) do not change with gender. Red cell indices give information about the average red cell volume (MCV) and red cell hemoglobin content (MCH) or concentration (MCHC). MCV is the most useful because it permits separation of microcytic anemia from normocytic and microcytic anemias.
