MeSH Heading: Erythrocyte Indices
Tree Number(s): E01.370.225.625.230; E05.200.625.230; G09.188.260
Unique ID: D004909
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004909
Annotation: coordinate with disease /‌blood, not /‌physiopathol
Scope Note: ERYTHROCYTE size and HEMOGLOBIN content or concentration, usually derived from ERYTHROCYTE COUNT; BLOOD hemoglobin concentration; and HEMATOCRIT. The indices include the mean corpuscular volume (MCV), the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC).
