Tag: Low mchc

Anemia, a condition frequently associated with low MCH and MCHC results, affects over 2 billion people worldwide. These low blood test values indicate that red blood cells contain a lower-than-normal amount of hemoglobin, the protein responsible for oxygen transport, which can lead to various symptoms and health issues.

According to Medical News Today, the most common cause of low MCHC is iron deficiency anemia. The average concentration of hemoglobin within your red blood cells is known as MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration), and nutritional deficiencies, particularly in specific vitamins, can lead to this condition.
