Detailed explanation-1: -MCHC indicates the amount of hemoglobin per unit volume. In contrast to MCH, MCHC correlates the hemoglobin content with the volume of the cell. It is expressed as g/dl of red blood cells or as a percentage value. The normal values for MCHC are 34 ± 2 g/dl.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is a measurement of the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell (RBC) as it relates to the volume of the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -The reference ranges for hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in adults are as follows : Male: 14-18 g/dL or 8.7-11.2 mmol/L (SI units) Female: 12-16 g/dL or 7.4-9.9 mmol/L (SI units)
Detailed explanation-4: -What is MCHC? MCHC stands for mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. It’s a measure of the average concentration of hemoglobin inside a single red blood cell. MCHC is commonly ordered as part of a complete blood count (CBC) panel.
Detailed explanation-5: -The amount of hemoglobin in whole blood is expressed in grams per deciliter (g/dl). The normal Hb level for males is 14 to 18 g/dl; that for females is 12 to 16 g/dl.
