Typically, if the MCH level is below 26, this is considered too low. The MCH level can be too low due to the fact that of blood loss with time, too little iron in the body, or microcytic anemia. Microcytic anemia is a condition in which unusually small red cell are present. Smaller ...
MCH is different from MCHC even though they seem like the same thing. MCH is the average amount of hemoglobin in individual red blood cells, whereas MCHC is the average weight of hemoglobin-based on the volume of red blood cells. The calculation of MCH is an essential part of blood tests ...
Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. When you have low hemoglobin, your body is not getting as much oxygen as it should. This can lead to symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, a racing heart, trouble concentrating, and fainting. There are ma...

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)MCH quantifies the average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell [1].The normal values for MCH are 29 ± 2 picograms (pg) per cell (27-31 pg/cell).Values of MCH typically mirror MCV results: small red blood cells have a lower MCH, and large red ...
