Test Code

The Hemoglobin test determines the concentration of hemoglobin, a vital iron-containing protein present in red blood cells that transports oxygen from the lungs to tissues and carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs.

Abnormal hemoglobin levels can indicate conditions such as anemia, nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin B12, folate), chronic diseases, blood loss, dehydration, or bone marrow disorders. This test is a key component of routine health checkups and is often performed as part of a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to evaluate overall blood health.
