What is HAEMOGLOBIN (Hb)?

This blood test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your red blood cells. Hemoglobin is a protein rich in iron that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body.

Why is this test important?

Hemoglobin levels are crucial for assessing your body's oxygen-carrying capacity. Abnormal levels can indicate conditions like anemia (low hemoglobin), which causes fatigue and weakness, or polycythemia (high hemoglobin), which can lead to blood clots.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
