What do abnormal results indicate?
The normal range of MCHC in your blood is 33.4 to 35..5 grams/ decilitre (g/dL). This value, however, varies from one laboratory to another based on the equipment used for the test.
Abnormal values in the test report can indicate several underlying diseases in your body.
A high MCHC level greater than 35.5 g/dL in your blood occurs when the hemoglobin concentration increases in the bloodstream. High MCHC may indicate health issues like Autoimmune hemolytic anemia and macrocytic anemia.
A level lower than 33.4 g/dL of MCHC means you have low MCHC. The common problems related to low MCHC are decreased stamina, lack of energy, and anemic hypoxia.
