Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HPP typically presents with a low MCV due to decreased red blood cell survival leading to a compensatory increase in erythropoiesis. Additionally, there is commonly an increase in osmotic fragility and autohemolysis test. RBC thermal instability at 45°C leading to fragmentation is also characteristic of HPP. Therefore, the laboratory result that is not characteristic of HPP is a normal MCV.
