Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was in ER last week for vertigo and lab tests were done. I also discovered I had a urinary tract infection. The CBC revealed a high MCH 31.1, immature granulocyte was o.oo and the imm gran% auto was 0.0, my TSH was 7 The ER doc was not concerned but I m wondering what this means

HI
Thanks for posting your query .
High MCH means your hemoglobin is more when compared to the size of RBCs. It is very commonly seen in Vitamin B12 or Folate deficiency which is very easily treatable . I advise you to get Serum Vitamin B12 and Folate levels done . Also your TSH is slightly elevated than normal . ( Normal is < 5) . Kindly do a Thyroid profile test in fasting condition and revert back .
