Understanding Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin in Faridabad
What is Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin in Faridabad?
A Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin test helps measure the amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells (RBCs). This test is a key indicator of how effectively oxygen is being distributed throughout the body. It is often done as part of a complete blood count test that also measures other types of blood cells.
What does Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin measure?
An MCH test measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell (RBC). Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein in RBCs, and its major function is to transport oxygen from the lungs to all body parts. This test provides information about how much oxygen is being delivered to the body by a certain number of RBCs.
