Calculate Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)
Description
Calculates the MCH based on hemoglobin concentration and red blood cell count. MCH measures the average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell.
Usage
calc_mch(hb, rb)
Arguments
hb |
Numeric value representing the hemoglobin concentration in g/dL. |
rb |
Numeric value representing the red blood cell count (millions/ µL). |
Value
Numeric value representing the MCH in picograms (pg).
Examples
calc_mch(15, 5)
Calculate Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
Description
Calculates the MCHC based on hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit. CHCM measures the average concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells.
Usage
calc_mchc(hb, ht)
Arguments
hb |
Numeric value representing the hemoglobin concentration in g/dL. |
ht |
Numeric value representing the hematocrit in percentage. |
Value
Numeric value representing the MCHC in grams per deciliter (g/dL).
Examples
calc_mchc(15, 40)
Calculate Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)
Description
MCV measures the average volume of red blood cells in a blood sample.
Usage
calc_mcv(ht, rb)
Arguments
ht |
Numeric value representing the hematocrit in percentage. |
rb |
Numeric value representing the red blood cell count (millions/ µL). |
Value
Numeric value representing the MCV in femtoliters (fL).
Examples
calc_mcv(40, 5)
