Calculate MCH

Input Mode

MCH (pg)

Formula:

MCH = (Hb × 10) ÷ RBC

MCH in picograms (pg)

MCH Categories

<27 pgHypochromic (low Hb)

27-33 pgNormochromic (normal)

>33 pgHyperchromic (high Hb)

MCH vs MCV vs MCHC

MCH: Amount of Hb per cell (picograms)

MCV: Volume/size of cells (femtoliters)

MCHC: Concentration of Hb in cells (g/dL)

Understanding MCH

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) measures the average amount of hemoglobin in each red blood cell, expressed in picograms (pg). It helps characterize anemia as hypochromic (low hemoglobin content) or hyperchromic/normochromic.

MCH typically correlates with MCV - cells that are small (microcytic) usually also have less hemoglobin (hypochromic), while large cells (macrocytic) often have more hemoglobin (hyperchromic).

Clinical Significance

Low MCH (Hypochromic)

• Iron deficiency anemia
• Thalassemia
• Chronic disease anemia
• Lead poisoning

High MCH (Hyperchromic)

• B12 deficiency
• Folate deficiency
• Liver disease
• Alcohol abuse
