What is a normal MCH level?
The short answer
A typical US lab prints a normal MCH range of 27–33 pg. That range exists to catch disease, not to describe your best.
Nobody we follow has said what your mean corpuscular hemoglobin should be. It comes up on the shows, but never with a number.
What mean corpuscular hemoglobin measures

Common questions
What is a normal mean corpuscular hemoglobin level?
Most US labs print 27–33 pg. Your report grades you against that range. It exists to catch disease, not to describe your best.
What does your mean corpuscular hemoglobin number mean?
On a typical lab range, under 27 pg is low, 27 to 33 is normal and over 33 is high. Your own report prints its range next to your number, and that is the one your lab uses. Nobody we follow has drawn a line inside that range.
What does the mean corpuscular hemoglobin test measure?
The average amount of hemoglobin in each red blood cell. It helps tell iron-shortage anemia apart from anemia with other causes.
Why is there no target here?
Because nobody we follow has named a number for mean corpuscular hemoglobin. If that changes, it will be here.
