What does the medical abbreviation MCHC mean?
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
What does a low MCHC count mean-31.7?
bordeline of macrocytic anemia, which could be a folic acid deficiency, liver disease, hereditary spherocytes or B-12 deficiency
What happen if mchc if low?
MCHC is the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration of your blood. This is an estimate of the concentration of hemoglobin in a given number of packed red blood cells. Hemoglobin is what carries oxygen to the cells of our body. If the concentration of hemoglobin is too low, then our body tissues and cells are not getting enough oxygen. In the brain, not enough oxygen results in confusion, changes in level of consciousness, coma, etc. In the heart, not enough oxygen results in heart attack. In body tissue, there will be overall fatigue and possible paralysis.
What influence does the patient's history have on an increased MCHC?
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.
What do you do if MCHC is high?
Drink more fluids
What is MCH and MCHC?
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.
What is the difference between MCH and MCHC?
MCHC it's how much of the volume in one erythrocyte is occupied by meoglobin. MCHC=(Hb%/pcv%) *100 normal value = 30%-38% while MCV it's the amount of hemoglobin in one erythrocyte. mcv = (pcv/RBCs)*10 normal value 27-32pg (picogram)
What is MCH in hematology test?
could indicate anemia
