Compare the hematocrits, haemoglobin contents, red blood cell counts, MCV, MCHC and MCH of sample X and Y with standard values. Give comments on the two samples base on the red cell indices (Which subject may be more suspected to suffer from anemia?)

Normal Range of MCV: 80-98 femtoliters, fL

Normal range of MCHC: 320-360 g/L

Normal range of MCH: 27-32 picograms, pg

Samples

X

Y

MCV (femtoliters, fl)

 

= 84.73 fL

 

= 69.53 fL

MCHC (g/L)

 

= 258.87 g/L

 

=370.52 g/L

MCH (pictograms, pg)

 

= 21.93 pg

 

= 25.76 pg
