What is MCHC?
- Definition: MCHC measures the average concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of packed red blood cells.
- Function: It reflects the proportion of hemoglobin in red blood cells by volume and helps evaluate their oxygen-carrying capacity.
Why is MCHC Important?
- Oxygen Transport: Indicates how efficiently red blood cells can transport oxygen to tissues and organs.
- Anemia Diagnosis: Helps differentiate between different types of anemia based on hemoglobin concentration in red blood cells.
When is MCHC Measured?
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): MCHC is routinely measured as part of a CBC, along with other parameters such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell count.
- Anemia Evaluation: Specifically used to assess the concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells to diagnose and classify anemia.
