Haemoglobin (Hb)

100.00

A haemoglobin test measures the levels of haemoglobin in your blood. Haemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. If your haemoglobin levels are abnormal, it may be a sign that you have a blood disorder.

SPECIMEN: 3 mL (1 mL min.) Whole blood in 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube.
STABILITY: Room: 6 hrs; Refrigerated: 48 hrs; Frozen: NA
REPORT: Daily
USAGE: Haemoglobin levels are used to diagnose type and degree of anaemia. Several factors like age, sex, pregnancy and diurnal variations are to be considered before diagnosis of anaemia is made on the basis of a single haemoglobin estimation.
