Mean Cell Hemoglobin (MCH) Unit Converter

Mean cell hemoglobin (MCH) measures the average amount of hemoglobin in each of your red blood cells. Hemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen from your lungs to your body's tissues.

MCH is calculated by dividing total hemoglobin by the red blood cell count. Normal values typically range from 27 to 33 picograms (pg) per cell.

MCH is part of the red blood cell indices (along with MCV and MCHC) that help doctors classify anemias and understand the health of your red blood cells.

Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, where hemoglobin is synthesized. MCH reflects how much hemoglobin each cell contains when it enters circulation.
