Complete Blood Count Test (CBC)

Clinical significance

MCH quantifies the amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell.

The normal range for MCH is between 27.5 and 33.2 picograms (pg).

High MCH scores are commonly a sign of macrocytic anemia. This condition occurs when the blood cells are too big, which can be a result of not having enough vitamin B12 or folic acid in the body. High MCH scores may also be the result of the following: liver diseases.

You may experience the following symptoms:

  • shortness of breath.
  • chest pain.
  • fast heartbeat.
  • fatigue or weakness.
  • very pale or yellowish skin.
  • headache.

A low mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) means that your red blood cells contain less hemoglobin than normal. This usually also means they are smaller than normal (microcytic). People with small red blood cells (microcytosis) often do not show any symptoms unless their anemia is severe.

My journey back to health with Healsens. Thank you!!

That's when I turned to a nutritionist and ordered a blood test through Healsens. … Four months later, I retested. My biological age dropped to 24—nearly a decade younger than my real age.

Useful app to track analytics and 2nd opinion

It helps me track main parameters, understanding what do they mean and correlations, and make critical analysis to make preventative changes. Hope too see new fichas soon!

Everything is great! Excellent app! It's very convenient for storing all your test results! The only thing I wish was that you could record blood pressure readings for both arms, as this is sometimes important for blood pressure monitoring.

A useful app. It motivates me to lead a healthy lifestyle and monitor my diet. After the test results, I decided to change my diet – I cut out flour and chocolate. I lost 2 kg in about a week. We'll see how the test results look over time.
