What is the MCH and MONO % in a blood test mean if they are high?

Q: What is the MCH and MONO % in a blood test mean if they are high?

A: The MCH, or Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin, is the average mass of hemoglobin per red blood cell. It is calculated by multiplying the hemoglobin by 10 then dividing the answer by the number of red blood cells. MCH levels are increased with certain types of macrocytic anemia (aplastic, hemolytic, or pernicious). Macrocytic anemias occur when the red blood cells are larger than their normal volume. It is also high if the macrocytic cells have an overabundance of hemoglobin. However, a person may also get falsely elevated MCH values if they are on heparin or have high cholesterol.Monocytes are a type of white blood cells. White blood cells protect the body from infection or inflammation. Increased monocytes, or monocytosis, can signify chronic inflammatory disorders, chronic ulcerative colitis, Hodgkin’s disease, Myeloproliferative disorders (diseases of the bone marrow in which excess cells are produced as in certain types of leukemia), Nonpyogenic bacterial infection (such as tuberculosis, subacute bacterial endocarditis, syphilis, or brucelosis), or certain types of viral infections (such as mononucleosis).I know this is a lot of information, but I do hope that it helps you out. Good luck to you!
