Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration

Aka: Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin, MCHC, MCH
  1. Background
    1. Not as useful as other indices for Anemia Evaluation
    2. More useful indices
      1. Hemoglobin or Hematocrit
      2. Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)
      3. Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)
  2. Calculations
    1. Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)
      1. MCH = (10 x Hemoglobin) / (Red Blood Cell Count)
    2. Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
      1. MCHC = (Hemoglobin x 100) / (Hematocrit)
  3. Interpretations
    1. Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)
      1. Normal: >30 pg/cell
      2. Abnormal: <30 pg/cell
        1. Suggests abnormal Hemoglobin synthesis
    2. Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
      1. Normal: 28 - 33%
      2. Low (< 28%): Iron Deficiency Anemia
      3. High (> 33%): Spherocytosis or unstable Hemoglobin

Erythrocyte Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Test (C0369183)

Definition (NCI_CDISC) A quantitative measurement of the mean amount of hemoglobin per erythrocyte in a biological specimen.
Definition (NCI) The mean cell hemoglobin (MCH) , which is the average amount of hemoglobin in the average red cell. The MCH is a calculated value derived from the measurement of hemoglobin and the red cell count.

Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration determination (C0474535)

Definition (NCI_CDISC) A quantitative measurement of the mean amount of hemoglobin per erythrocytes in a specified volume of a biological specimen.
Definition (NCI) The mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), which is the average concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of blood. The MCHC is a calculated value derived from the measurement of hemoglobin and the hematocrit.
Definition (MSH) MCHC equals HEMOGLOBIN divided by HEMATOCRIT.
