Except in Tasmania, rainfall is generally low and may range from about 14mm in the Northern Territory, which is in the middle of its dry season, to 98mm in New South Wales and 180mm in Victoria. The average rainfall in Australia in 2011 was just over 56.3mm.
MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin) refers to the concentration of hemoglobin in each red blood cell. If MCV and MCH are low, it means your red blood cells are smaller than average (MCV) and paler than average (MCH), and can't carry as much oxygen as normal. This is usually caused by an iron deficiency anemia. Red meat does contain iron, but it may be healthier to look for a multivitamin that includes iron.
One of the hallmarks of lupus are low Complement 3 (C3) and Complement 4 (C4) levels. Low C3 is not specific to lupus; low C3 combined with low C4 is what is usually seen in lupus. The patientâs levels of C3 and C4 can indicate the activity of the disease. 1  When C3 and C4 levels are low, it can suggest that the disease is active and there is either a current flare or a flare is imminent.
