MCHC

How concentrated haemoglobin is inside red cells.

If it's high

Uncommon; can occur with certain inherited red cell conditions.

If it's low

Often seen with low iron.

• Iron-rich foods: spinach and other greens, lentils, rajma, chana, soya, eggs, fish or lean meat
• Vitamin C with meals (amla, guava, orange, lemon) to help absorb iron

A question for your doctor
