The mean corpuscular hemoglobin, or MCH, is a measure of the amount of hemoglobin contained by a red blood cell. It is reported as part of a standard complete blood count. It is diminished in microcytic anemias, and increased in macrocytic anemias.

Complete blood count - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (957 words)
The cells that circulate in the bloodstream are generally divided into three types: white blood cells (leukocytes), red blood cells (erythrocytes), and platelets or thrombocytes.
In the past, counting the cells in a patient's blood was performed manually, by viewing a slide prepared with a sample of the patient's blood under a microscope (a blood film, or peripheral smear).
Mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) - the average concentration of hemoglobin in the cells.
Mean cell hemoglobin concentration definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms (221 words)
Mean cell hemoglobin concentration: The average concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of blood.
The MCHC is a calculated value derived from the measurement of hemoglobin and the hematocrit.
(The hemoglobin value is the amount of hemoglobin in a volume of blood while the hematocrit is the ratio of the volume of red cells to the volume of whole blood.) The normal range for the MCHC is 32 - 36%.
