Some genetic conditions, like hereditary spherocytosis, can do it. Even low thyroid levels sometimes can cause large red blood cells and a high MCV. People with high turnover of red blood cells, such as those with a mechanical heart valve, have excess numbers of immature red blood cells, called reticulocytes. These fool the machine into reporting a high MCV.
