Low mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in a complete blood count (CBC) may indicate iron deficiency anemia or thalassemia. Further evaluation, including iron studies and hemoglobin electrophoresis, is usually necessary to determine the underlying cause.
What else can I help you with?
What are the components of a CBC?
A complete blood count (CBC) typically includes measurements of red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, platelets, and sometimes additional indices such as mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC).
What does that mean if you MCH test is high?
That is not possible. There is something wrong with your results. Tell your MLT/MT to rerun your CBC/MCH test. Spherocytes can cause MCH/MCHC to go high, but it is impossible. Spherocyte is a small red blood cell that have no central pallor
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)
How do you calculate mch and MCHC?
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) is calculated by dividing the total amount of hemoglobin by the total number of red blood cells, and then multiplying by 10 to get the result in picograms. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is calculated by dividing the total amount of hemoglobin by the total volume of red blood cells, and then multiplying by 100 to get the result as a percentage.
What does MCH stand for and what does it measure?
MCH stands for Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin and it measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell. It is a parameter in a complete blood count (CBC) test and helps in diagnosing different types of anemia.
What is MCH and MCHC?
MCH is the abbreviated form of mean cell hemoglobin, or the average amount of hemoglobin in the average red cell. MCH is part of the complete blood count and a normal amount of hemoglobin in a red cell is considered to be 27-32 picograms. MCHC is mean cell hemoglobin concentration, or the average concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of blood. MCHC is also part of the complete blood count and a normal concentration of hemoglobin is considered to be 32-36%.

What are the results of a CBC test of someone with Cystic Fibrosis?
RBC-4.74 Hb-13.9 Hematocrit-39.1 MCV-82.4 MCH-29.3 MCHC-35.5 WBC-12300 Neutrophils-24 Lymphocytes-71 Monocytes-3 Eosinophils-2 Basophils-0 Platelets-321000 Glucose-88
When a MCH is high and an RBC is low what can cause this?
When a MCH and an RBC and WBC is low, what can cause this"

In macrocytic anemia why the MCH is in normal range?
well, that's what i understand and am not an expert there is nuclear cytoplasmic dissociation in which the immaturity is for the nucleus only but the cytoplasmic organelle are mature folate is needed in production of thymine (purely DNA) but to get RNA you dont need it uracil) so you will have mature cytoplasm in which HG is normally formed (not arrested) MCHC is normal but MCH is elevated coz MCH is dividing the HG by RBC count which will give you the HG per cell,, which is higher simply because you have a larger space (big cell) but MCHC is not elevated (not hyperchromic) hope it helped Mansour
Can a lack of iron produce a high mch in blood count?
No, but lack of iron could cause a low MCH
Does 32.6 mch in blood levels mean thyroid problems?
No; take a look at your thyroid testing results to talk about thyroid problems, not your CBC.
What does MCH stand for and what does it measure?
MCH stands for Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin and it measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell. It is a parameter in a complete blood count (CBC) test and helps in diagnosing different types of anemia.
Hgh of 10.2 hct of 34.2 mcv of 72.4 mch of 21.6 mchc of 29.8 rdw of 17.1 your ca is low 7.8 as well as your tot protein 4.9 and albumin 1.8?
In order to see what these blood test results mean, you need to know if they are for a man, woman, or child. Test level results can vary according to sex and age. For example, a hctÊof 34.2 is a hemocrit count that is in the normal range for a woman in her second trimester, but is low for a man whose normal range is between 42 and 52.
