In addition, it includes a calculation of the size and volume of your red blood cells. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), which also measures hemoglobin in red blood cells.Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), which measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell.Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), which measures the average size of your red blood cells.There are four types of red blood cell indices:
Your cells need oxygen to grow, reproduce, and stay healthy. Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, carry oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. MCHC: so MCV is decreased as compensating mechanism.Red blood cell (RBC) indices measure the size, shape, and quality of your red blood cells. Every time Hb synthesis being impaired in bone marrow microcytosis can occurs such as iron deficiency and Hb pathy may occur in fact when Hb production was impaired: size of each RBCs is decreased in early stage to save mean corpuscular Hb concentration : i.e. The normochromic cells have a normal concentration of haemoglobin, and are therefore 'red enough' while the hypochromic cells do not thus the value of the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration.The most common cause of microcytosis is iron deficiency anemia. Therefore, there are both "normochromic microcytotic red cells" and "hypochromic, microcytotic red cells". The haemoglobin content is referred to as the cell's colour. Red blood cells can be characterised by their haemoglobin content as well as by their size.
Cells can be small because of mutations in the formation of blood cells (hereditary microcytosis) or because they are not filled with enough hemoglobin, as in iron-deficiency-associated microcytosis. There are many causes of microcytosis, which is essentially only a descriptor. Depending upon how the terms are being defined, thalassemia can be considered a cause of microcytic anemia, or it can be considered a cause of microcytosis but not a cause of microcytic anemia. Microcytic anemia is not caused by reduced DNA synthesis. When associated with anemia, it is known as microcytic anemia. Microcytosis or microcythemia is a condition in which red blood cells are unusually small as measured by their mean corpuscular volume.
