The MCHC measures the amount of hemoglobin in each red blood cell in relation to the size of the cell. If your hemoglobin is low, your body cells do not receive adequate oxygen.utritional deficiencies can cause anemia; if you are anemic, your lab tests show a low MCH, or mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and low MCHC, or mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. MCH and MCHC are used to diagnose anemia and can help determine what kind of anemia you have.
