The normal level of hemoglobin (Hb) in the blood varies by age, sex, and other factors. Here are the general ranges:
- Adult Men: 13.8 to 17.2 grams per deciliter (g/dL)
- Adult Women: 12.1 to 15.1 g/dL
- Children: The range can vary depending on age, but typically falls between 11 to 16 g/dL.
Hemoglobin levels outside these ranges may indicate conditions such as anemia or polycythemia. Always consult with a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and personalized advice.
