A trained phlebotomist will clean the area where the blood will be drawn from using an antiseptic solution.

A lower MCHC value indicates a reduced concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of red blood cells, and hence, decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the red blood cells.

Iron deficiency anemia
Bleeding (acute or chronic) due to trauma, surgery, menstruation, etc.
Lead poisoning
Kidney failure
Thalassemia
Rheumatoid arthritis

A higher MCHC value (hyperchromic) indicates the concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells is higher than usual and is associated with the following conditions-

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
Spherocytosis
Liver disease
Sickle cell disease
Severe burns
