Hemoglobin is responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood. Hemoglobin tests are used to diagnose diseases and monitor treatments. They can also be used to screen for gene mutations or other abnormalities.
A hemoglobin test consists of taking a sample of your blood and measuring the amount of hemoglobin present. This information can help doctors determine whether you have any diseases, understand your treatment options, or assess how well you're recovering from an illness.
What is it used for?
A hemoglobin test is used to determine if you have anaemia, a condition in which there are not enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. Many things, including bleeding, can cause anaemia, damage to red blood cells, or not getting enough iron in your diet. If you have anaemia, you may feel tired, weak, and short of breath.
Haemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin) is an oxygen-carrying protein. It is found inside red blood cells (erythrocytes). Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to tissues and organs throughout the body. It returns carbon dioxide to the lungs.
The amount of haemoglobin levels in the blood is measured as part of a complete blood count (CBC) test. A haemoglobin blood test allows doctors to determine the number of red blood cells in the body. If haemoglobin levels are found abnormal, a person may be suffering from a blood disorder.0020
