The mean concentration of hemoglobin in erythrocyte (MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration) is the indicator of the saturation of red blood cells by hemoglobin. In the hematology analyzers, MCHC is determined automatically. This parameter can also be calculated by the formula: Hb (g / dl) × 100 / Ht (%).
