Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)
Explanation: Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) measures the average amount of hemoglobin (oxygen-carrying protein) in a single red blood cell (RBC). It helps assess anemia and red blood cell function.
Test purpose: An MCH test is part of a complete blood count (CBC). Low MCH may indicate iron deficiency anemia or chronic disease anemia. High MCH may suggest vitamin B12 or folate deficiency anemia.
- Detect different types of anemia.
- Evaluate oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells.
