Analysis of MCHC
Is one of the medical blood tests conducted in order to know the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood; for the purposes of diagnosis, and the search for the causes of many symptoms of diseases.
Red blood cells
They are spherical, concave cells, one of the main blood components, containing hemoglobin, and are associated with iron and a number of proteins.
Hemoglobin
Hemoglobin plays an important role in all cells of the body. It is the oxygen carrier that all cells in the body need. For the breathing process needed to complete various metabolic processes, hemoglobin is a protein substance found in the red blood cells. It contains the iron that binds to oxygen when transported to cells The body, through the work of a chemical bonding iron with oxygen; to take the blood red color, through the process of exchange and oxidation that occurs in the blood in the lungs; to return the amount of oxygen loaded from blood to the heart, and paid to the rest of the body through the course When this amount of oxygen reaches the cells consumed, and because of the weak chemical bond between the iron in the hemoglobin and the oxygen, this amount is released for the cells to take. Hemoglobin then loses oxygen to give the blood a reddish blue color.
How MCHC Analysis Works
The average concentration of hemoglobin is analyzed in an estimated sample of red blood cells. Natural concentrations range between 32% -35%. In case of high or low, this is due to a disturbance in the amount of iron in the blood, which is associated with many diseases :
Anemia
Is a condition in which MCHC reading is less than normal. This is due to the iron deficiency and deficiency required to produce hemoglobin, and therefore hemoglobin concentrations in the blood.
Sickle cell anemia
Is a condition that breaks the red blood cells, and take the form of sickle due to the production of unhealthy types of hemoglobin, causing a lot of problems for the body, this type of red blood cells have a problem in movement; causing narrowing in the passages through which the red blood cells; It is a serious complication of the body such as: the occurrence of blood clots in important organs of the body such as the lungs, causing the pain associated with the blockages, and the pellets are weak and unable to carry oxygen adequately; due to iron imbalance in hemoglobin, : Such as shortfalls Kidney failure, renal insufficiency, general immune weakness, clotting, and especially cerebrovascular complications.
