Has anyone had this happen? If so, what was the outcome and what should I be watching for.

@emmar3895, an MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration) blood test measures the average concentration of hemoglobin (oxygen-carrying protein) in your red blood cells, usually part of a routine complete blood count (CBC). Are you being monitored for anemia? Are these routine blood tests or do you have symptoms that your doctor is investigatiing?
