Understanding Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration in Howrah
What is Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration in Howrah?
A Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration test helps measure the concentration of hemoglobin in the red blood cells (RBCs). This test is a key indicator to check for signs of anemia and other blood disorders. 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 Concentration measure?
An MCHC test measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a given volume of RBCs. MCHC is calculated by dividing the amount of hemoglobin by hematocrit (volume of blood made up of RBCs) and then multiplying it by 100.
