MCH
Haemoglobin divided by red cell count.
Calculated by the analyser from two numbers already printed above it.
This one isn’t a test
MCH = Hemoglobin ÷ RBC count
No extra sample was taken for this and no extra assay was run. It is arithmetic on numbers already on your report — but it still adds a line to the advertised test count.
Computed from Hemoglobin and RBC Count.
That does not make the number useless — eGFR is calculated and doctors act on it every day. It means it should not be counted as a separate test when you are comparing what a package costs.
