Range Hemoglobin 129 140-160 Low Hemoglobin is essential mg/dl mg/dl for carrying oxygen in tissue. A decrease in hemoglobin indicates that there’s an alteration in the oxygen carrying capacity in the body.

Reference: Brunners and Suddarth Medical and surgical nursing 13th edition volume 2 pg. 1509 RBC 3.90 x 4.5-5.6 Low RBC is responsible to 10²³/L x 10²³/L transport oxygen from lungs to the various tissues of the body and to assist in transport of carbon dioxide from the tissue to the lungs. A decrease in red blood cells indicates that there’s an alteration in the oxygen carrying capacity in the body.
