The normal range may vary slightly between labs, but it is usually between 32-36 g/dL. Causes of low or high MCHC values. High and low MCHC values have different causes.
May 2, 2024 · Testing and checking MCH levels are key. Abnormal MCH levels could mean issues like anaemia or deficiencies that need care. Getting a balanced diet and correct management steps may help maintain your MCH levels right. It is important not to miss regular check-ups and blood tests.
