How to calculate mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) measures the average concentration of hemoglobin within red blood cells — a standard blood test value distinct from MCH, which measures hemoglobin amount rather than concentration.
How the calculation works
MCHC = (Hemoglobin × 100) ÷ Hematocrit, with hemoglobin in g/dL and hematocrit as a percentage, giving a result in g/dL.
Example
Hemoglobin of 15 g/dL with a hematocrit of 45%: (15×100)÷45 = 1,500÷45 ≈ 33.3 g/dL.

Pro Tips for Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration
- A normal MCHC range is commonly cited around 32-36 g/dL, though reference ranges vary somewhat by lab.
- MCHC measures concentration (hemoglobin relative to cell volume), while MCH measures the absolute amount of hemoglobin per cell — they answer related but distinct questions.
Common Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration Mistakes to Avoid
- Confusing MCHC (a concentration) with MCH (an absolute amount) — they use different formulas and answer different clinical questions despite similar names.
