High hemoglobin levels mean that measured hemoglobin levels are above the upper limits of normal for the age and sex of the person (see above normal values). For example, a 19 year old that has a detected hemoglobin level of above 17.7 g/dl would have a high hemoglobin level.
MCH stands for mean corpuscular hemoglobin in hematology. Corpuscles are red and white blood cells. Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying pigment in red blood cells. Mean refers to the average weight of hemoglobin per red blood cell. High MCH means more hemoglobin than normal for a person's age and gender, which -- counterintuitively -- can indicate a particular type of anemia.
