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)

Saline replacement should only be used if all other measures have failed. If you have a lipemic sample, plasma HGB should be used to correct the HGB, MCHC, and MCH. If you hae a cold agglutinin, then the sample should be warmed and re-run. If the cold agglutinin will not warm out, then saline replacement should be considered.
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.
