What is the difference between MCH and MCHC?

Answer 1

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)

Answer 2

MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin) measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a red blood cell, while MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration) measures the average concentration of hemoglobin in a red blood cell. MCH provides information on the quantity of hemoglobin per cell, while MCHC gives information on the concentration of hemoglobin within each cell.
