A Haemoglobin (HB%) test measures the amount of haemoglobin present in your blood. Haemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body and helps maintain overall health.

No, fasting is not required for a Haemoglobin (HB%) test. However, informing the lab about ongoing medications or supplements is recommended for accurate results.

Normal haemoglobin levels range between 13.5–17.5 g/dL for adult males and 12.0–15.5 g/dL for adult females. Values may vary slightly depending on age and health condition.
