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 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 does low mch and low mchc in cbc man?
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.
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.
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
Complete blood picture?
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
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
Is there any difference between Haemogram and Complete Blood Count?
A complete blood picture measures everything from haemoglobin to WBCs to the number of platelets, etc per volume of blood. A haemogram includes few more parameters like PCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, etc.
What does a high MCH Lab test reveal?
MCH.
What does a Low MCHC count mean?
My MCHC test came back 31.6 is this a concern it says the range is 31.8-35.4
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 does it mean if your mchc level is 33.6?
A mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) level of 33.6 g/dL is considered within the normal range for adult men and women. MCHC measures the concentration of hemoglobin in your red blood cells. An MCHC value that falls within the reference range is typically not a cause for concern.
What does a high MCH mean?
normal range of mch is 27-32pg. mch means corpuscular hemoglobin. i think it can be high in polycythemia.
