In the laboratory, the MCH value is automatically provided by the electronic cell counters, but can also be obtained by applying the formula: Hb (g / dl) x 10 / number of erythrocytes in millions / µl. The result is expressed in picograms (pg).
The interpretation of the MCH result has an important utility in the diagnosis and monitoring of numerous pathological conditions, including anemia.
some blood. This parameter is expressed in picograms (note: 1 picogram is a submultiple of the gram which is equivalent to one millionth of a millionth of a gram, i.e. 1/1012).The determination of MCH is part of routine blood tests and falls, in particular, in the evaluation of corpuscular indices, in the context of the blood count (also known as blood count).
