bordeline of macrocytic anemia, which could be a folic acid deficiency, liver disease,
hereditary spherocytes or B-12 deficiency
My MCHC test came back 31.6 is this a concern it says the range is 31.8-35.4
recent mchc slightly low at 317 also b12 has been slightly low at 184 and also had bowel lesion removed september last year, tubullovillous adenema with mild dysplasia - could all these be related?
MCHC(mean corpuscular hb conc.)low level is found in microcytic hypochromic anaemia.
When one has a low MCHC, it means that their mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration is low. It can mean that a person has iron-deficiency anemia.
MCHC stands for mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. It is used in conjunction with other data from the CBC to determine possible causes when a patient has a low red blood cell count (anemia).mean corpuscular haemoglobin
could indicate anemia
its laboratory techniqe which includes quantification of cellular components of blood.it has Hb,haematocrit,rbc count,MCV,MCH,MCHC,total & differential leukocyte count,platelet count
MCH stands for mean corpuscular hemoglobin, which measures the average amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. MCHC stands for mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, which measures the concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of packed red blood cells. Both are important parameters used in the analysis of red blood cells in a complete blood count (CBC) test.
Increased MCHC could be indicative of hereditary spherocytosis. A family history of the this disorder can help in diagnosis. Other causes of increased MCHC are hemolysis, lipemia, and cellular dehydration syndromes.
Low Pin Count was created in 1998.
platelet count
A lack of iron tends to result in low blood count.
