MCHC or mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration refers to the average content of hemoglobinâs in RBCs or red blood cells. The MCHC value is noted down in a CBC or complete blood count report. It is one of the indices of RBCs and is used for diagnosis of anemia along with the cause, type, and severity of the disease. The normal range for MCHC in adults is in the range of 32 to 36 grams/deciliter. Lower than normal MCHC is called hypochromia and is indicative of reduced hemoglobin in each RBC irrespective of the cellâs size. Low MCHC is usually observed in conditions like thalassemia and iron deficiency anemia.
