Hemoglobin is a special protein containing iron in human red blood cells. Because it can transport oxygen and carbon dioxide, it is very important for microcirculation in the body, and because it is the only iron-containing protein in human blood. A blood test for hemoglobin is mainly to check whether a person is anemic. Generally speaking, as long as the hemoglobin content is below the range, it can be judged as anemia. If a person's hemoglobin level is low, plus further tests, such as checking the average hemoglobin level and concentration, if these two indicators are also low, then it can be judged as iron deficiency anemia, which can be convenient for doctors and patients themselves Symptomatic treatment and improvement were made. In addition, abnormal hemoglobin content is a harbinger of many major diseases, so it is very necessary to check hemoglobin when blood is drawn. If we ordinary people find that their hemoglobin is abnormal, we must consult a doctor further, so as not to delay the possible disease.
So what is the normal range of hemoglobin? Generally speaking, it is 130-170g/L for men, and 110-150g/L for women. Pregnant women are also this indicator. Children's is 120 ~ 150g/L. The highest is 170 ~ 200g/L for newborns. As long as the hemoglobin content is lower than the value in the blood test, it can be judged as anemia. In addition, if the hemoglobin range of people living in plateau areas is higher than this standard, when the time comes Take the doctor's advice. It is worth noting that there will be some unnoticed behaviors that can affect the accuracy of the hemoglobin test results. Don't over-diet or binge-eat the day before your blood test. On the day of the blood test, do not drink water before the blood is drawn, because drinking water can affect the hemoglobin level in the body. Therefore, if you find that your hemoglobin value is abnormal, you might as well rule out the above behaviors.
As people pay more and more attention to health, going to the hospital for physical examination has become a popular way of keeping healthy. Go to the hospital to draw blood to check the hemoglobin and find anemia and don't worry too much, as long as you adjust your living habits in your future life and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. The hemoglobin level will return to normal. Finally, I wish you all good health.
