Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Isn't Mean Either

Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) is the part of the CBC test that tells you how much hemoglobin, by weight, is found in a red blood cell.

Evaluation of MCH helps categorize anemias and RBC-related disorders.

An elevated MCH is associated with macrocytic (large-cell) anemia and iron overload, while a low MCH is associated with microcytic (small-cell) anemia and thalassemia. A suboptimal MCH warrants further exploration.
