Hemoglobin details

What Hemoglobin shows

Hemoglobin is the iron-containing protein inside your red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body and returning carbon dioxide for exhalation. It's one of the central values in a complete blood count (CBC) and the primary marker used to diagnose anemia (low hemoglobin) or polycythemia (high hemoglobin). Low hemoglobin can result from blood loss, iron or vitamin deficiencies, chronic disease, or bone marrow problems, and typically causes fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath; it's interpreted alongside hematocrit, MCV, and other red blood cell indices to help determine the underlying cause.
