Talk:Mean corpuscular hemoglobin

I believe that you may want to consider editing the definition of the MCH. It is the MCV that indicates whether the red cell is microcytic, normocytic or macrocytic. The MCH indicates if the red cell is hypochromic(low MCH), normochromic (normal MCH) or hyperchromic(high MCH). The MCH is used in combination with the MCV and the MCHC to classify anemias based on the red cells' hemoglobin concentration and cell size. For example iron deficiency anemia is considered a hypochromic, microcytic anemia. -- JMCHUGH —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.130.57 (talk) 21:49, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I think the redirection from "Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin" to "Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration" is wrong. It's not the same. kind regards --137.248.254.132 12:58, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Also, MCH is measure of the mass (not the wieght) of hemoglobin in red blood cells. I will change the article accordingly. --Jay Litman 18:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I also agree. Also, the opening paragraph states MCHC is MCH divided by the haematocrit, whereas the table states it is MCH /MCV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.46.132.194 (talk) 14:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

The formula 'MCH=(Hgb*10)/RBC' found in the article is correct only for Hgb in grams/deci-liter [g/dl] and RBC in pico-liter [/pl] for which it yields MCH in pico-grams [pg]. Otherwise, it's wrong. Correct would be simply 'MCH=Hgb/RBC' (which requires that readers understand the SI system and insert the appropriate scalars). I contribute this correction without taking ownership of it.

Weight
Not an expert on this by any means but there are several references to "weight". Should this not be "mass"? Omar77 (talk) 12:29, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
