Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) details

What Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) shows

Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) is the average amount of hemoglobin found inside each of your individual red blood cells, calculated from your hemoglobin and red blood cell count. Along with MCV and MCHC, it's used to help classify the type and likely cause of anemia โ€” low MCH often accompanies small red blood cells (microcytic anemia), commonly from iron deficiency, while a normal or high MCH pattern points toward other causes, like B12 or folate deficiency, which tend to produce larger cells.
