Overview

The hemoglobin test measures the hemoglobin

level in the blood. Hemoglobin is a protein in red
blood cells that carry oxygen to body organs and
tissues and transports carbon dioxide from organs
.and tissues to the lungs

If the hemoglobin test reveals that the hemoglobin

level is lower than normal, then this means that
you have low red blood cell count (anemia). There
can be many causes of anemia, including vitamin
.deficiency, bleeding, and chronic diseases

If the hemoglobin test shows a higher level than

normal, there are many possible causes such as a
 blood disorder known as true redness, high
.altitude, smoking, and dehydration

Why is this done

You may have a hemoglobin test for several

:reasons

For a public health check-up, your doctor may

perform a hemoglobin test as part of a full blood
count count during a regular medical check-up to
monitor your overall health and to check you for a
.variety of disorders, such as anemia

To diagnose a medical condition, your doctor may

suggest a hemoglobin test if you suffer from
weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath or
dizziness. These signs and symptoms may
indicate anemia or red blood cells. The
hemoglobin test may help diagnose these medical
.conditions or other conditions
 If you are not diagnosed with anemia or
erythrocytes, your doctor may use a hemoglobin
test to monitor your condition and guide your
.treatment

Thalassemia

Anemia due to iron deficiency

How to prepare

If your blood sample will only be tested to detect

hemoglobin, you can eat and drink normally before
the test. If your blood sample will be used in other
tests, you may need to fast for a certain period of
time before the sample is collected. The doctor will
.give you specific instructions

What you can expect

For a hemoglobin test, a health care team member

takes a blood sample by tingling the tip of one of
 your fingers or inserting a needle into one of the
veins in your arm. For babies, the sample may be
.taken through the heel prick

A blood sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis.

You can resume your usual activities immediately
.after taking the sample

Results

:Normal range of hemoglobin

For men, from 13.5 to 17.5 grams per deciliter

For women, 12.0 to 15.5 grams per deciliter

The normal ranges for children vary by age and

gender. The normal hemoglobin range may vary
.from one medical practice to another

Less than normal results

Your hemoglobin level below your normal level

indicates anemia. There are many forms of
 anemia, each with different causes, that may
:include

Iron deficiency

Vitamin B-12 deficiency

Folate deficiency

Bleeding

Cancers that affect the bone marrow, such as

leukemia

Kidney disease

Liver diseases

Hypothyroidism

Thalassemia - a genetic disorder that causes low

levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells
 If you have ever been diagnosed with anemia, a
lower than normal hemoglobin level may indicate
.that you need to change your treatment plan

Higher than normal results

If you have a higher hemoglobin level than normal,

:this may be caused by

True polycythemia - a blood disorder, in which the

bone marrow produces excessive red blood cells

lung diseases

Drought

Live at high altitudes

Smoking heavily

Burns

Hyper vomiting

Excessive physical exertion

 If you were previously diagnosed with RE, your
high hemoglobin level may indicate a need to
.adjust your treatment plan

If your hemoglobin level is lower or higher than

normal, your doctor may want to evaluate the
results of a hemoglobin test with the results of
other tests, or additional tests may be required to
.determine the next steps

For details on what your hemoglobin test results

.mean, talk to your doctor
