MCH 34.9 pg in your blood test results
You received your blood test result with a MCH value of 34.9 pg. This analysis helps you to check if your MCH value is within normal range.
Your MCH value of 34.9 pg is too high. A good Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) is usually between 27.5 and 33.2 pg.
Lower your Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) by 1.7 pg to be within normal range.
Causes
If an MCH level in a blood test is 35 or higher, it is considered high MCH. High MCH levels can indicate microcytic anemia, which is caused by a shortage of vitamin B12. Sometimes even alcohol abuse can be a factor, so itâs important to get an accurate diagnosis before starting treatments. Symptoms of high MCH include headaches, diarrhea, tongue soreness, and tachycardia.
Treatment & Medication
The way to treat high MCH will be dependent on the patient. If the patient has pre-existing conditions or other medical conditions, it might affect the course of the treatment. If the cause of high MCH is microcytic anemia, then the treatment might just include more vitamin B12. If itâs another cause, a physician will discuss the treatment options and adjust them accordingly.
