Mean corpuscular
Hemoglobin (MCH)
Mean corpuscular
Hemoglobin
concentration (MCHC)
Calculates average
concentration of
hemoglobin inside an
RBC.
Reticulocyte count
Serum iron
Measures
the
total
amount of iron in the
blood.
Total iron-binding
Capacity (TIBC)
Measures
the
total
amount of iron that can
be bound by transferrin
Shows the percentage of
transferrin
that
is
saturated with iron. It is
calculated using results
of serum iron,
Transferrin saturation
smaller than
normal RBCs often
have less
Abnormal values may
offer clues to
the type of anemia or
other
possible
conditions
Amount of difference in
size may suggest the
body is trying to make
new RBCs to correct the
anemia or may suggest
a cause for the anemia.
The
presence
of
abnormal or immature
blood cells can point to
possible causes for the
anemia.
A markedly higher
reticulocyte count may
point
to
hemolytic
anemia. A
lower reticulocyte count
can point to irondeficiency
anemia,
pernicious
anemia, aplastic anemia,
or other
anemias caused by
reduced
RBC
production.
Abnormal results on
these tests can point to
iron-deficiency anemia.
