Erythrocyte colour value

The erythrocyte mean cell haemoglobin (MCH) is the average amount of haemoglobin per erythrocyte. It is calculated according to the formula: $$ MCH=\frac{\mbox{hemoglobin [g/l]}}{\mbox{počet erytrocytů [}\mbox{l}^{-1}\mbox{]}} $$

The physiological value of MCH ranges from 28-32 pg. The lower values tend to be in hypochromic anemias, the higher values in macrocytic anemias
