Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), a parameter that is reported as a part of a standard complete blood count by automated analyzer, is a measure of the concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of packed red blood cell. Values of MCHC significantly above reference range are not physiologically possible due to limitations on solubility of hemoglobin. The high MCHC can give us ...

Red blood cell (RBC) fractions were studied after separation of whole blood by means of counterflow centrifugation, Percoll column (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden), and a combination of both separation techniques. Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were measured in each fraction. From the res...

A B S T R A C T Mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is thought to have an important influence in sickle cell disease, both through the strong dependence of sickling rates on hemoglobin S concentration, and through the profoundly limiting effect of high MCHC on the rheologic competence of oxygenated, irreversibly sickled cells (ISC). Recent studies have tested the ability of antidiuretic h...

Eleginops maclovinus has been an important fishery resource in Chile since 1957. Caligus rogercresseyi is one of the most prevalent ectoparasite species found on E. maclovinus. Hematocrit, hemoglobin level, red blood cell count (RBC), white blood cell count (WBC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and differential ...

A rationale for clinical trials of hydroxyurea (HU) treatment in sickle cell disease is that the agent increases red blood cell (RBC) fetal hemoglobin content. However, an additional effect of HU is to raise the mean corpuscular volume (MCV). To investigate the action of HU in a species that makes no electrophoretically distinguishable fetal hemoglobin, we treated dogs with the drug and compare...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the stability of complete blood count (CBC) parameters by measuring at multiple time points up to 72 h after venepuncture. METHODS 36 samples submitted for routine haematology were measured at 0, 8, 24, 48, 72 h. 18 samples were kept at room temperature (23-25 °C) and the other 18 at 4 °C. The stability of the CBC parameters was determined by comparing the results to th...

The Hemalog system is an automated hematological instrument. From one sample this instrument determines the value for platelets (PBC), white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb) and the hematocrit simultaneously. Moreover the system calculates the derived values: the mean cell volume (MCV), mean cell hemoglobin (MCH) and the mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The va...
