What does a low result mean?
A slightly reduced MCH often accompanies modest iron stores, causing cells to appear lighter in color.
What does a high result mean?
A mildly increased value typically tracks with a higher MCV and is usually benign.
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Does this correlate consistently with my MCV and ferritin?
- Would increasing dietary iron intake be beneficial?
- Is any further blood test required?
