Hemoglobin (B-Hb) – Measurement and reference values

TIETOPAKETIT

When suspecting anemia, it is important to test the hemoglobin. Symptoms of iron deficiency anemia include paleness and fatigue.

Hemoglobin (B-Hb)

  • Hemoglobin is an iron-rich, oxygen-binding protein that transports oxygen from the lungs to tissues and carbon dioxide back to the lungs. 
  • Hemoglobin is always examined in connection with a blood count.
  • In anemia, the level of hemoglobin in the blood is lower than normal.
  • Anemia usually causes fatigue, impaired physical performance, dizziness, and shortness of breath.

What is hemoglobin (B-Hb)?

Hemoglobin is an iron-rich oxygen-binding protein that transports oxygen from the lungs to tissues and carbon dioxide back to the lungs. Hemoglobin is what gives blood its red color. Its primary function is to transport oxygen throughout the body, for instance, to the muscles and the heart.

Hemoglobin is examined as part of a blood count test used to diagnose various symptoms.

When suspecting anemia, it is important to test the hemoglobin. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia. Symptoms of iron deficiency anemia include paleness an

Hemoglobin levels are crucial for oxygen transport in the body and can vary by age, gender, and overall health. These variations reflect the needs of different life stages, from higher levels at birth to gradual changes with aging. Monitoring hemoglobin helps detect conditions like anemia or polycythemia, which require medical attention. This guide explains hemoglobin&#;s role, normal ranges for different age groups, and the impact of high or low levels.

What is Hemoglobin?

Hemoglobin, found in red blood cells (RBCs), carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and returns carbon dioxide to the lungs for exhalation. Healthy red blood cells rely on adequate hemoglobin for proper function. Measured in grams per deciliter (g/dL), hemoglobin levels indicate the body&#;s oxygen balance.

Each hemoglobin molecule can bind to oxygen, ensuring effective oxygen delivery, energy production, and overall health. A healthy hemoglobin count is essential for maintaining good health.

How Hemoglobin Levels Are Tested

Hemoglobin levels are typically measured through a blood test, which helps assess the amount of hemoglobin in red blood cells. The two most common methods for test
