Hello and welcome to HCM,
MCHC stands for mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration.
A level of MCHC at 36% may be high but it is of no consequence.
Moreover, MCHC has to be interpreted along with other blood parameters like hemoglobin, red blood cell counts, MCV, MCH and RDW.

An ALT level of 49 IU is slightly above the normal range, however, it does not signify any disease process.
Get ALT level repeated after few months.
In case the level falls or remains at same level, there is nothing to worry.
However, if value increases you then you need to consult your primary healthcare provider.

Thanks and take care
