What is MCH used for?

MCH, or Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin, is a lab measurement used to evaluate the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell. It is part of a complete blood count (CBC) and helps in diagnosing various types of anemia and other blood disorders. By analyzing MCH levels, healthcare providers can gain insights into the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and the overall health of red blood cells.
