      corpuscular hemoglobin concentration in children: a series of four cases.

AB  - Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), a parameter that is reported as 
      a part of a standard complete blood count by automated analyzer, is a measure of 
      the concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of packed red blood cell. 
      Values of MCHC significantly above reference range are not physiologically 
      possible due to limitations on solubility of hemoglobin. The high MCHC can give 
      us a clue to certain type of hemolytic anemia and necessitate critical evaluation 
      of peripheral smear to reach a definitive diagnosis. Here we are presenting a 
      series of four cases with raised MCHC, emphasizing the importance of systematic 
      and meticulous examination of the peripheral smear to render a definitive 
      diagnosis.
