MCHC is the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration of your blood. This is an estimate of the concentration of hemoglobin in a given number of packed red blood cells. Hemoglobin is what carries oxygen to the cells of our body. If the concentration of hemoglobin is too low, then our body tissues and cells are not getting enough oxygen. In the brain, not enough oxygen results in confusion, changes in level of consciousness, coma, etc. In the heart, not enough oxygen results in heart attack. In body tissue, there will be overall fatigue and possible paralysis.

What influence does the patient's history have on an increased MCHC?
Increased MCHC could be indicative of hereditary spherocytosis. A family history of the this disorder can help in diagnosis. Other causes of increased MCHC are hemolysis, lipemia, and cellular dehydration syndromes.

Drink more fluids
What is the difference between MCH and MCHC?
MCHC it's how much of the volume in one erythrocyte is occupied by meoglobin. MCHC=(Hb%/pcv%) *100 normal value = 30%-38% while MCV it's the amount of hemoglobin in one erythrocyte. mcv = (pcv/RBCs)*10 normal value 27-32pg (picogram)
