MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration)
MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration) measures the average concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of red blood cells. It is calculated by dividing the hemoglobin by the hematocrit (the percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells). MCHC helps to assess the color and concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells, providing insight into the severity and type of anemia. Low MCHC levels may indicate hypochromic anemia (where red blood cells have less hemoglobin), while high MCHC levels can be seen in conditions like hereditary spherocytosis or other types of hemolytic anemia.
