Why is MCHC important in Histology?

In histology, MCHC provides valuable information about the health and functionality of red blood cells. Abnormal MCHC values can indicate various hematologic conditions:
- Hypochromic Anemia: Lower-than-normal MCHC values which suggest insufficient hemoglobin.
- Spherocytosis: Higher-than-normal MCHC values which may indicate abnormally shaped red blood cells.
The microscopic examination of blood smears in histology can complement these findings, providing a visual assessment of RBC morphology.
