what's a hemoglobin test
Asked by: CuriousPatient123
A hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. This test is often part of a routine blood test called a complete blood count (CBC).
Adult Men 13.8–17.2
Adult Women 12.1–15.1
Children Varies by age
If your hemoglobin levels are abnormal, your doctor may recommend further testing to determine the cause.
