MCH Meaning
MCH stands for mean corpuscular hemoglobin. The MCH test determines the amount of hemoglobin in red blood cells and thus provides information about red blood cells and the distribution of oxygen in the body.
MCH Normal value
The normal value for the average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell (MCH) is between 1.67 and 1.9 fmol for both men and women.
