Hello,
From the results provided there is no need for worry.
ESR and Mean corpuscular Volume (MCV) results alone are insufficient to arrive at diagnosis. ESR indicates presence of inflammation but is not specific, MCV may be elevated in anemia.
Along with the clinical findings and other lab investigations it is possible to diagnose ailment your husband may be suffering from.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
