MCHC basically tells you the average concentration of hemoglobin—that’s the stuff carrying oxygen—inside an erythrocyte. Usually, when people talk about MCV, MCH, and MCHC, they just lump them together as erythrocyte indices. These numbers are just different ways of looking at the characteristics of your red blood cells. You can't really make sense of any of these values in a vacuum, though; you always have to look at them alongside your actual red blood cell count and total hemoglobin levels to get the full picture.
