HAEMOGLOBIN (Hb%)

A test to measure the level of haemoglobin that is present in your red blood cells is called a Haemoglobin (HB%) test. It is also called an Hb test. It is a part of a series of blood tests called Complete Blood Count (CBC). It is a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the rest of the cells in your body.

Doctors frequently recommend a haemoglobin test in Jaipur, if you're experiencing symptoms like unusual weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath, or pale skin, or as part of a routine health check-up. Deviations from normal haemoglobin levels can signal conditions such as anemia (low levels) or polycythemia (high levels), both of which can significantly impact your health.

While the HAEMOGLOBIN (HB%) test is largely focused around a particular key value, its implications for your health are extensive.

• Haemoglobin (Hb): This reflects haemoglobin concentration per unit volume of blood, expressed in grams per deciliter. Deficiencies are frequently a sign of anemia and might result in weakness or fatigue, shortness of breath as a result of reduced amounts of oxygen accessible. Excessive amounts may point to polycythemia, which may bring about blood clots.

Healthcare providers also apply this value to diagnose different blood disorders, the effectiveness of different treatments, and also to measure your health status. But since haemoglobin plays such a vital role in the transport of oxygen, blood testing is vital, and many people in Jaipur are satisfied with Dr. B. Lal Clinical Lab services for blood testing.

A test for haemoglobin is often suggested if certain symptoms persist over an extended period of time:

• Constant tiredness
• Pale skin
• Shortness of breath, especially with physical exertion
• Dizziness
• Cold hands and feet
• Frequent headaches
• A fast or irregular heartbeat
• Brittle nails

These symptoms may sometimes be minor and dismissible, such that imbalances may consequently be left unchecked. Early testing for a disease may prevent its complications.

Getting a haemoglobin (Hb%) blood test done in Jaipur offers numerous advantages, most of which revolve around the proper management of all kinds of disorders, such as anemia, before the problem gets complicated.

• Early Detection: It helps in early detection if a patient is suffering from anemia or polycythemia.
• Symptom Explanation: Provides insights into the cause of persistent fatigue and weakness.
• Nutritional Assessment: Helps confirm existence of nutritional deficiencies such as iron deficiency.
• Treatment Monitoring: Enables the monitoring of the effectiveness of ongoing treatments.
• Preventive Health: Often included in routine preventive health screenings for overall wellness.

There are no special preparations or fasting necessary for a HAEMOGLOBIN HB% blood test. It is always a good idea, though, to inform your doctor or the laboratory personnel that you are presently on any type of medication, iron therapy, or have received a blood transfusion, as it may affect the outcome.

For the most accurate results, it is recommended to avoid heavy exercise before the examination and always be well-rested prior to the exam. When you have recently recovered from an illness or infection, please inform the examiner accordingly when collecting the sample for the exam. Dr. B. Lal Clinical Lab follows very strict standard sample handling procedures for providing accurate testing results.

Haemoglobin levels are typically measured in grams per deciliter (g/dL). The common reference ranges are:
 

Category	Haemoglobin Level (g/dL)	Interpretation
Adult Males	13.5 – 17.5	Normal
Adult Females	12.0 – 15.5	Normal
Children (by age)	11.0 – 16.0	Normal (consult pediatrician)

Lower than normal levels usually indicate anemia, while higher levels might suggest conditions like polycythemia or dehydration. It's crucial for doctors to interpret these reports in conjunction with your symptoms and medical history before determining any course of treatment.
