Except in Tasmania, rainfall is generally low and may range from about 14mm in the Northern Territory, which is in the middle of its dry season, to 98mm in New South Wales and 180mm in Victoria. The average rainfall in Australia in 2011 was just over 56.3mm.
MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin) refers to the concentration of hemoglobin in each red blood cell. If MCV and MCH are low, it means your red blood cells are smaller than average (MCV) and paler than average (MCH), and can't carry as much oxygen as normal. This is usually caused by an iron deficiency anemia. Red meat does contain iron, but it may be healthier to look for a multivitamin that includes iron.
A PCV/TS can give you valuable information about the patientâs status and help you think ahead to the next step in treatment. PCV is the percentage of red blood cells in circulating blood. A decreased PCV generally means red blood cell loss from any variety of reasons like cell destruction, blood loss, and failure of bone marrow production. An increased PCV generally means dehydration or an abnormal increase in red blood cell production. TS is a measurement of plasma proteins.
