Final answer:
The average concentration of hemoglobin in a volume of blood calculated by dividing hemoglobin concentration by the packed cell volume is known as the Mean Cell Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC).
Step-by-step explanation:
The average concentration of hemoglobin in a volume of blood, calculated from the hemoglobin concentration divided by the packed cell volume (hematocrit), is termed the Mean Cell Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC). MCHC is a measure used to characterize red blood cells (RBCs) in anemic patients. It represents the concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of packed red blood cells. Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying compound in erythrocytes, which are the most numerous cells in the blood. Hematocrit is the volume percentage of erythrocytes in a sample of centrifuged blood, which represents the proportion of blood made up by the red blood cells.
