Hemoglobin Test
A Hemoglobin Test measures the amount of haemoglobin in your blood, an essential protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. This test helps diagnose conditions like anaemia or polycythaemia. Normal hemoglobin levels vary by age and sex; deviations may require further medical evaluation. Hemoglobin Test results guide patient treatment plans.
