Understanding MCHC

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) measures the average concentration of hemoglobin within red blood cells, expressed in grams per deciliter (g/dL). Unlike MCH which measures the total amount of hemoglobin, MCHC measures the density of hemoglobin within the cell.

MCHC has a relatively narrow normal range and is the most stable of the red cell indices. Elevated MCHC is relatively rare and is a useful marker for hereditary spherocytosis or may indicate laboratory error.

Clinical Significance

Low MCHC

• Iron deficiency anemia
• Thalassemia
• Sideroblastic anemia
• Chronic disease anemia

High MCHC

• Hereditary spherocytosis
• Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
• Severe burns
• Lab error (cold agglutinins)
