Its low levels indicate a decrease in the hemoglobin content per cell and translates into hypochromia in the peripheral blood smear.
A
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
B
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)
C
mean corpuscular volume (MCV)
D
RBC distribution curve width (RBC)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Causes of Low MCHC MCHC measurements that are below the normal range can be a sign of iron-deficiency anemia. Iron-deficiency anemia develops when you don’t have enough iron in your body. You need iron to make red blood cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -What happens when hemoglobin is low? If a disease or condition affects your body’s ability to produce red blood cells, your hemoglobin levels may drop. When your hemoglobin level is low, it means your body isn’t getting enough oxygen, making you feel very tired and weak.

Detailed explanation-3: -Symptoms of decreased levels of MCH and MCHC are: Lack of regular stamina due to shortness of breath. Consistent exhaustion. Body weakness.

Detailed explanation-4: -MCH quantifies the amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell. The normal values for MCH are 29 ± 2 picograms (pg) per cell. MCHC indicates the amount of hemoglobin per unit volume. In contrast to MCH, MCHC correlates the hemoglobin content with the volume of the cell.
