A member asked:

Blood report shows 26.6 pg mch.a little below normal. was it due to donating a pint of blood some 20-30 days before the blood test or iron deficiency?

Perhaps neither: Would need to know rest of test data, can be normal for you if blood count (hgb / hct) and size (MCV) normal. May benefit from discussing w/your dr and possibly iron studies, but need to look at whole picture, not just one value.
