MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin)
MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin) is a measure of the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell. It is calculated by dividing the total hemoglobin by the number of red blood cells. MCH is typically included in a complete blood count (CBC) and helps evaluate the size and content of red blood cells. Low MCH levels can indicate conditions like iron deficiency anemia, while high MCH levels may suggest macrocytic anemia, often linked to vitamin B12 or folate deficiencies. This test helps assess the overall health of red blood cells and diagnose various types of anemia.
