mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration
Explanation:
It appears that HBEB is synonymous with MCH, and is in fact "mean corpuscular hemoglobin." The unit of measurement is pg.

#MCH is measured in g/dl, and is also known as MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration).

The reference ranges match up, based on Pschyrembel (28-32 for MCH/HBEB, and 33-36 for #MCH/MCHC).

Hope that helps!

seems to be the same, but then it would make me wonder, why it is tested and listed separately?! -- I couldn't find HBEB in my medical dictionaries/books just HbE which also seems to be the same
HbE=HBEB
Erythrozyten Indizes:
Aus drei diagnostisch wichtigen Parametern:

1.) Ery.-Zahl (ZE pro µl)

2.) Hb-Gehalt in g bzw. mol/l und

3.) Hämatokrit

können drei weitere wichtige Erythrocyten-Parameter, nämlich die sog.

Erythrocyten-Indices bestimmt werden:

I.) HbE = MCH = FI = [Hb]/ZE;

Normbereich: HbE = 26 - 31 pg º FI = 1;

kleinere Werte bringen die Bezeichnung hypochrom und höhere Werte die Bezeichnung hyperchrom mit sich.

II.) MCV (mean corpuscular volume) = Hkt / ZE;

Normbereich: MCV » 90 fl.

III.) [Hb]E = MCHC (mittlere [Hb] der Ery.) = [Hb] / Hkt;

Normbereich: MCHC » 333 g/l.

agree giselrike: It is in fact MCHC, and I know this simply because I have worked on docs with the same odd terms, and ended up calling the doctor for confirmation.
