HEMOGLOBIN
What does HEMOGLOBIN measure?
A hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin, an oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. It may be used to assess overall red blood cell status and to help evaluate conditions associated with low or high hemoglobin levels, including possible anemia or changes in blood concentration. Results are interpreted along with medical history, symptoms, and other laboratory findings.
