MCH in blood work refers to Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin. This is the concentration of hemoglobin in blood cells. High MCH can mean macrocytic anemia, which results from a deficiency in vitamin B12 or folic acid.

How can you lower your MCH in blood?

To lower mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) levels in the blood, you can address underlying causes such as iron deficiency anemia or vitamin B12 deficiency. Eating a balanced diet rich in iron, vitamin B12, and folate, along with taking supplements if needed, can help normalize MCH levels. Additionally, treating any conditions that may be causing high MCH, such as hemolytic anemia, can help lower MCH levels.
