TLC, MCH and MCHC
My son (16 mnths) troubles while eating like other child's. Just visited doctor for consultation. Doctor had asked for several test. Report indicates following
MCH 21.99 (24-30)
MCHC 29.18 (31-37)
TLC 15.5 (5-15)
ALC (Lymphocytes) 11.2 (1.5-8.5)
Is there anything to worry much about. Rest all test like ESR 5 (0-20), Urine ad MT (negative) are okay. Pls update what are MCH, MCLC, TLC and ALC.
Just had consulted a new doctor. He is advising for 2D echo test which none of the doctor had even asked for earlier. What is this about and is it required?

Even I'm at a loss why an ECHO being advised!!Ask your paediatrician what for!
MCH and MCHC means haemoglobin content in RBCs is less,i.e anaemia.
Get a serum ferritin level to assess iron deficiency,and start iron if low.
Rest are fine.
Add iron rich items in diet.
