    What is a Haemoglobin (Hb) Test?

    A Haemoglobin test checks the haemoglobin concentration in your blood, a protein in red blood cells that plays a crucial role in transporting oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues. Proper haemoglobin levels are vital for maintaining oxygen supply throughout the body.

    Abnormal levels, whether too low or too high, can disrupt this supply and pose health risks. If you exhibit symptoms of such irregularities, your doctor may recommend a Haemoglobin test. This test is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions like anaemia, identifying its underlying causes, evaluating its severity, and tracking response to treatment.

    In Bangalore's busy lifestyle, it's easy for health checks to slip through the cracks. Be proactive—if advised by your doctor, schedule your Haemoglobin test in Bangalore without NOAay.

    Haemoglobin (Hb) Test Parameters

    The Haemoglobin test measures the haemoglobin concentration in the blood, focusing on this single parameter.

    Haemoglobin is composed of globin, a protein, and haem, which contains iron and the pigment porphyrin that gives blood its red hue. Iron in haemoglobin is key to its ability to bind oxygen, which is then transported from the lungs to the rest of the body. Oxygen supports the cells in producing energy, crucial for maintaining health. Insufficient haemoglobin or a low red blood cell count can decrease oxygen NOAivery, affecting energy levels and health. On the other hand, too much haemoglobin or an excessive red blood cell count can thicken the blood, slow down circulation, and reduce oxygen supply to tissues. Monitoring haemoglobin levels with a Hb test can help detect abnormalities and guide appropriate interventions.

    Haemoglobin (Hb) Test Preparation

    Before booking a Haemoglobin test at home, keep the following points in mind:

    • Prerequisites

    Fasting is not required for this tes t.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    You can take the Hb test at any time of the day.

    • Who Should Get an Hb Test

    You may need an Hb test if you are experiencing symptoms of high or low haemoglobin levels or as part of routine blood tests. The Hb test is also important for:

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

    • Assessing the severity of your condition.

    • Monitoring the effectiveness of treatment on haemoglobin levels.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Hb Test

    No special preparation is required for the Hb test; however, some factors can influence haemoglobin levels:

    • Altitude: High-altitude living can raise haemoglobin levels.

    • Fluid Intake: Consuming large amounts of fluids can lower haemoglobin levels.

    • Pregnancy: Haemoglobin levels may drop during pregnancy.

    • Exercise: Intense physical activity can increase haemoglobin levels.

    • Medications: Certain drugs, such as anabolic steroids and antiretrovirals, may alter haemoglobin levels. Your doctor will inform you of any specific instructions if needed.

    Why Take a Haemoglobin (Hb) Test?

    • Your doctor may suggest a Haemoglobin test if you have symptoms of abnormal haemoglobin levels.

    Symptoms of High Haemoglobin:

    • Weakness

    • Excess sweating

    • Swelling of joints

    • Blood clots

    • Stroke

    • Heart attack

    • Headaches

    • Dizziness

    • Yellowing of eyes and skin

    • Easy bruising

    • Weight loss

    • Blurred or double vision

    • Itching

    Symptoms of Low Haemoglobin:

    • Weakness

    • Dizziness

    • Chest pain

    • Pale skin

    • Cold hands and feet

    • Fatigue

    • Shortness of breath

    • Headache

    Your doctor may also use this test to monitor how well you are responding to treatments for adjusting red blood cell counts. Other reasons for an Hb test include:

    • A diet lacking essential nutrients, including iron, vitamin B12, and folate.

    • Chronic infections.

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

    • Significant blood loss from an 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 result from a range of conditions affecting the body’s ability to produce or sustain red blood cells. Key reasons include:

    • Increased Red Blood Cell Destruction: Disorders such as sickle cell anaemia, thalassaemia, and an enlarged spleen can reduce the lifespan of red blood cells.

    • Blood Loss: Loss of blood due to surgery, injury, internal bleeding, or heavy menstrual periods.

    • Inadequate Red Blood Cell Production: Conditions like various types of anaemia (aplastic, pernicious), blood cancers (leukaemia, lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndrome, multiple myeloma), chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy, and medications including antiretroviral drugs.

    • Other Factors: Deficiencies in iron, vitamin B12, or folate, and poor iron absorption can impact the production of healthy red blood cells.

    High Levels: High haemoglobin levels may suggest significant health concerns and could lead to complications like blood clots. Causes include:

    • Other Factors: Smoking, high-altitude living, exposure to carbon monoxide, dehydration, and the use of anabolic steroids can also cause elevated haemoglobin levels.

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

    It’s important to note that abnormal haemoglobin results are not always indicative of a medical condition. Factors such as diet, physical activity, medications, and menstrual cycles can influence test outcomes. For accurate interpretation, consult with your doctor.
