    What is a Haemoglobin (Hb) Test?

    The Haemoglobin blood test measures the haemoglobin concentration in your blood. Haemoglobin is a vital protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body.

    Maintaining normal haemoglobin levels is crucial for proper oxygen GRLivery. Both low and high haemoglobin levels can compromise the body's oxygenation, leading to various health concerns. Doctors may recommend this test if you show symptoms of haemoglobin imbalance. It is commonly used to diagnose anaemia, determine its cause and severity, and track treatment progress.

    In the bustling city of Gurgaon, where health often takes a backseat, it's essential to get your Haemoglobin test done if your doctor suggests it.

    Haemoglobin (Hb) Test Parameters

    The Haemoglobin test measures only one parameter: the haemoglobin concentration in your blood.

    Haemoglobin is made up of globin, a protein, and haem, which contains iron and the pigment porphyrin that gives blood its red colour. Iron in haemoglobin allows it to bind oxygen, which is then transported from the lungs to the rest of the body. Oxygen is crucial for cellular energy production, contributing to overall health. Low haemoglobin levels or a reduced red blood cell count can decrease oxygen GRLivery to tissues, affecting energy levels and health. Conversely, high haemoglobin levels or too many red blood cells can cause the blood to thicken, slow down, and hinder oxygen GRLivery. An Hb test helps in evaluating haemoglobin levels and identifying any irregularities that may require attention.

    Haemoglobin (Hb) Test Preparation

    Before scheduling a Haemoglobin test at home, please consider the following:

    • Prerequisites

    Fasting is not needed for the Haemoglobin test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The Hb test can be done at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get an Hb Test

    You may need an Hb test if you are experiencing symptoms of abnormal haemoglobin levels or as part of routine blood work. This test is also recommended for:

    • Diagnosing or evaluating conditions like anaemia (low haemoglobin) or polycythaemia (high haemoglobin).

    • Determining the severity of your condition.

    • Check how well your haemoglobin levels are responding to treatment.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Hb Test

    No specific preparation is required for the Hb test, but factors that might influence results include:

    • Exercise: Vigorous exercise can raise haemoglobin levels.

    • Medications: Some medications (e.g., anabolic steroids, and antiretrovirals) can alter haemoglobin levels.

    • Fluid Intake: Excess fluid intake can lower haemoglobin levels.

    • Pregnancy: Haemoglobin levels often decrease during pregnancy.

    • Altitude: High-altitude living can increase haemoglobin levels. Consult your doctor for any specific instructions.

    Why Take a Haemoglobin (Hb) Test?

    A Haemoglobin test may be ordered by your doctor if you have symptoms indicating abnormal haemoglobin levels. Symptoms of Low Haemoglobin:

    • Chest pain

    • Pale skin

    • Cold hands and feet

    • Weakness

    • Fatigue

    • Shortness of breath

    • Headache

    • Dizziness

    Symptoms of High Haemoglobin:

    • Yellowing of eyes and skin

    • Easy bruising

    • Blurred or double vision

    • Blood clots

    • Headaches

    • Swelling of joints

    • Weight loss

    • Stroke

    • Heart attack

    • Dizziness

    • Weakness

    • Excess sweating

    • Itching

    Your doctor may also use this test to monitor how well you are responding to treatments that modify your red blood cell count. Additional reasons for an Hb test include:

    • A diet that is low in essential nutrients, such as iron and vitamins B12 and B9.

    • Chronic infections.

    • A family history of blood disorders like thalassaemia or sickle cell anaemia.

    • Substantial blood loss due to injury or surgery.

    Haemoglobin (Hb) Test Results & Interpretation

    The table below provides the normal range for haemoglobin levels in grams per decilitre (g/dL).

    TestNormal Range (g/dL)
    Haemoglobin (Hb)13.0 - 17.0

    Interpretation

    Low Levels: Low haemoglobin levels can stem from various conditions that affect the production or maintenance of red blood cells. Key factors include:

    • Blood Loss: Loss of blood through injuries, surgeries, internal bleeding, or heavy menstrual periods can lead to reduced haemoglobin levels.

    • Inadequate Red Blood Cell Production: This can occur due to anaemias (such as aplastic or pernicious anaemia), cancers like leukaemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome, chemotherapy, chronic kidney disease, or antiretroviral medications.

    • Increased Red Blood Cell Destruction: Disorders like sickle cell anaemia, thalassaemia, and splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) can shorten red blood cell lifespan.

    • Other Factors: Nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin B12, or B9) and poor iron absorption can also impair red blood cell production.

    High Levels: Elevated haemoglobin levels can signal serious health concerns and may lead to complications such as blood clots. Potential causes include:

    • Other Factors: Living at high altitudes, smoking, dehydration, carbon monoxide exposure, or using anabolic steroids can contribute to higher haemoglobin levels.

    • Medical Conditions: Conditions like COPD, congenital heart disease, polycythaemia vera, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, kidney cancer, and liver cancer.

    Note: Abnormal haemoglobin levels don’t always signify a medical problem. Factors like diet, medication, physical activity, and menstrual cycles can also influence your results. For accurate interpretation, discuss your results with your doctor.
