Understanding Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)

Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein that helps carry oxygen in your body. By measuring the amount of hemoglobin in your RBCs, the MCHC test can help diagnose several medical conditions, including  iron deficiency anemia, macrocytic anemia, hemolytic anemia, thalassemia, etc. This test provides information on how effectively oxygen is being distributed throughout your body. 

Low levels of MCHC may indicate anemia like iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia etc or another condition that affects your red blood cells. Whereas, high levels of MCHC indicate a high concentration of hemoglobin within your RBCs. It can occur in conditions where RBCs are fragile or destroyed, or when RBCs get agglutinated (clumping of RBCs). No special preparation is required for an MCHC test; eat or drink as per your daily routine. 

Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between different labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results. The results will help them determine your medical condition and formulate your overall treatment plan.
