Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) is a measure of the average concentration of hemoglobin in each red blood cell. Abnormal MCHC may indicate certain types of anemia or other blood disorders.

iollo markers that associate with Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)

Glycine

Glycine is involved in heme biosynthesis, which is a key component of hemoglobin. Changes in glycine levels may impact hemoglobin production and MCHC.

Succinic acid

Succinic acid is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, which generates energy for heme synthesis. Alterations in succinic acid may affect hemoglobin production and MCHC.
