Haemoglobin (Hb) Test - Overview, Purpose, and Procedure:

Haemoglobin (Hb) is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Haemoglobin is essential to maintain the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. The Haemoglobin (Hb) test is a blood test that measures the amount of Haemoglobin in the blood.

The Haemoglobin (Hb) test is a part of the Complete Blood Count (CBC) test. It is used to diagnose and monitor various blood disorders, such as anaemia, polycythemia, and sickle cell disease. Haemoglobin levels can also be affected by factors such as pregnancy, altitude, smoking, and kidney disease.

The Haemoglobin (Hb) test is a simple blood test that can be performed at any time of the day. The test involves collecting a small sample of blood from a vein in your arm. The blood sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The results of the test are usually available within a few hours to a few days.

Why is the Haemoglobin (Hb) Test important?

The Haemoglobin (Hb) test is an important diagnostic tool for identifying and monitoring various blood disorders. The test helps in the diagnosis of anaemia, which is a common condition that occurs when the body does not produce enough red blood cells or when the red blood cells are not functioning properly.

Symptoms of anaemia include fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and dizziness. The Haemoglobin (Hb) test can also be used to monitor the response to treatment for blood disorders.
