I recently received my blood test report, and the MCHC level, which is 35.1 g per dL. Could you please explain what this means? Is this value considered normal or high?

MCHC of 35.1 is slightly elevated but not concerning if other CBC values are normal. No treatment needed unless symptoms appear.

My father is 77 years old and has been a COPD patient for the past 20 years, under regular medication. Recently, he has been experiencing chills and shivering in the evenings and at night, along with sweating. His blood report suggests oedema in the liver and kidneys. He is currently taking antibiotics for bacterial infections along with paracetamol, but there has been no improvement. Could you please explain the possible reasons for his condition, what further tests might be needed, and what medications or treatments should be considered?
