10 Σεπ 2024 · The MCH shows the average amount of hemoglobin in your red blood cells. In adults, an MCH of 27 to 31 pg/cell is considered normal. Low MCH values may indicate microcytic anemia (including iron deficiency anemia) or conditions like liver disease, kidney disease, blood loss, or thalassemia.
The Bottom Line. An MCHC blood test is a standard inclusion in a complete blood count. Healthcare providers look into the MCHC value to confirm certain diseases and deficiencies. However, interpreting the results requires evaluating the other CBC tests as well.
An MCHC result is compared to other RBC indices and measurements on a complete blood count (CBC) test to help diagnose anemia and determine the underlying cause. MCHC is not usually interpreted separately from other blood values and must be compared with RBC indices collectively.
6 Δεκ 2023 · A low mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) means red blood cells do not have enough hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein and low MCHC blood test result may indicate anemia.
