Anemia (hemoglobin, Hb)

Overtiredness, feeling lightheaded, problems with exertion, physical weakness?
Maybe you have anemia.

It is not recommended to order this test separately because the blood count provides more information than just loose Hb which is a part of this.

The hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells (erythrocytes). It provides oxygen transport from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. When hemoglobin levels are too low, anemia occurs. The body does not get enough oxygen and the patient is short of breath and easily tired. The hemoglobin level in blood is closely related to the number of red blood cells. If the number of red blood cells is reduced, due to decreased production or increased breakdown, the hemoglobin level is usually reduced as well.

Elevated hemoglobin can result from:

dehydration
increased production of red blood cells in the bone marrow
serious lung diseases
prolonged stay at high altitude (>2000 meters)

Lowered hemoglobin may result from:

iron deficiency or lack of vitamins folic acid and B12
hereditary haemoglobin disorders such as sickle cell anaemia or thallassemia
genetic disorders of red blood cells
liver decomposition (liver cirrhosis)
excessive bleeding
increased breakdown of red blood cells
kidney diseases
chronic inflammatory diseases
malfunctioning bone marrow (aplastic anemia)
cancer in which the bone marrow is affected

What is anemia

Anemia is a condition in which you have too few red blood cells or hemoglobin in your blood. This can lead to fatigue, weakness and pale skin. Anemia is often measured in a blood test to see if your body can carry enough oxygen.

What is hemoglobin

Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that transports oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. It plays a crucial role in transporting oxygen, which is essential for your energy and functioning. A blood test measures hemoglobin to see if you have enough red blood cells and if you are anemic.

What is a normal hemoglobin value

A normal hemoglobin level is usually between 13.8 and 17.2 grams per deciliter for men and 12.1 to 15.1 grams per deciliter for women. Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to your tissues. Measuring hemoglobin helps determine if you have enough oxygen in your blood and can indicate anemia or other health problems.
