Service Providers for Haemoglobin
The haemoglobin test measures the haemoglobin level in the blood, an essential protein in red blood cells responsible for oxygen transport. It is commonly used to diagnose anemia, polycythemia, or monitor overall health. A small blood sample is drawn from a vein or via a finger prick. No special preparation is typically required unless part of a broader test panel. Normal haemoglobin ranges vary by age, sex, and health status. Low levels may indicate anemia or blood loss, while high levels could suggest dehydration or a blood disorder. The procedure is safe with minimal risks, such as mild bruising. Results guide further diagnosis and treatment if abnormalities are detected.
