What is the Haemoglobin test used for?

The Haemoglobin test requires a sample of your blood to determine Haemoglobin levels. Sometimes, testing for Haemoglobin takes place as a part of a complete blood count (CBC). A CBC test also measures other essential components of your blood, such as white blood cells and platelets. Any abnormality in levels of these cells could indicate an underlying condition or blood disorder.

A parent or another family member suffers from a blood disorder, such as sickle cell disease.
There is an infection in your body.
Your diet lacks iron.
A traumatic injury or surgery caused you to lose plenty of blood.
Your pregnancy causes some abnormalities as well.
You may have another medical condition that affects Haemoglobin levels.

A Haemoglobin test aims to check the Haemoglobin level in your blood. The Haemoglobin test generally provides three results, including:

Haemoglobin levels are within normal limits

How to prepare for the Haemoglobin Test?

Getting a Haemoglobin test does not require any special preparation. If your doctor has also ordered other blood tests, you may need to fast before the test. You will be informed of any special instructions by your healthcare provider. However, we suggest that you drink plenty of water.

Things to consider after the Haemoglobin Test is complete!

Following your test, you can continue with your normal activities. During the first 24 hours after your blood is collected, you should avoid lifting heavy items with the arm used to take your blood sample.

Afterwards, your doctor will review the Haemoglobin test results with you. Depending on the results, the doctor may recommend additional tests. Treatment will depend on the underlying condition. Talk to your doctor about the possible treatment options. Those undergoing treatment for a blood disorder may have to undergo regular Haemoglobin tests.

What types of infection can the Haemoglobin Test detect?

Testing your Haemoglobin level is often done to determine whether you have anaemia, a condition characterised by low Haemoglobin levels and/or red blood cell count. Anaemia prevents your cells from receiving enough oxygen. In addition to Haemoglobin tests, other tests may also be performed, such as:

Hematocrit, an indicator of the red blood cell count in your body
Complete blood count, indicating how many and what type of cells your blood contains.

How much does the Haemoglobin Test cost?

Usually, Haemoglobin tests are part of a complete blood count. The location and cost of where blood is collected affect the price of your blood test. Your provider will also charge you for the laboratory that receives your blood sample. Consult your doctor or insurance provider about the expected costs, including copays or deductibles. The general range for this test is around rupee 100-300

*Disclaimer: The value varies based on location, time, and your preferred lab partner.

How long does it take to get the results for the Haemoglobin Test?

You can expect to get the results for the Haemoglobin test within 24 to 48 hours after the sample is collected. However, in some cases, depending on the location, medical advice, and preferred lab partner, it may take longer.

What do abnormal Haemoglobin Test results indicate?

A high level of any one of your levels may not necessarily indicate a medical problem. Moreover, if you live at a high altitude, your Haemoglobin level may be higher than usual. Your doctor will be able to tell you more about the test results.

Several factors can cause your Haemoglobin levels to be outside the normal range. An elevated Haemoglobin level can be a sign of:

Lung disease
Cardiovascular disease
Polycythemia vera, a condition in which the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells. Patients may experience headaches and fatigue as a result.

Haemoglobin levels below normal may be a sign of:

Anaemia
Thalassemia
An iron deficiency
A disease of the liver
Cancer and other diseases

Disclaimer: Consult your doctor for interpretation of test results.

Is the Haemoglobin Test a definitive test?

One of the most common tests performed in medical assessments is the Haemoglobin test. It is regularly performed and relied upon in various health care settings.

No test is 100% accurate. Since the Haemoglobin result can be affected by factors that do not necessarily indicate a health problem. In some cases, test results may not accurately reflect healthy Haemoglobin levels such as in pregnant women, dehydrated individuals, and those who live in high altitudes.

How to read the Haemoglobin Test report?

For men, Haemoglobin levels below 13 g/dL are considered low. For women, Haemoglobin levels below 12 g/dL constitute low Haemoglobin levels, if not pregnant.

Depending on the circumstances, the threshold may change. Be sure to check your lab’s reference range, as it can also differ depending on the lab. Children may also differ in these levels according to their age, particularly in infants under six months of age. Below is the healthy range for Haemoglobin levels according to age:

Infants – 11-18
Young Children- 11.5- 16.5
Adult Males- 13- 16.5
Adult Females(pregnant)- 11-16
Adult Females(not pregnant)- 12-16

Why Book the Hemoglobin Test?

Hemoglobin is a protein produced by your bone marrow in the blood and is a vital enzyme in our bodies. Hemoglobin carries oxygen to vital organs and tissues of the body, including lungs, kidneys, or heart.

Also, having an injury, a long-term infection or a history of inherited blood disorders can lead to abnormal hemoglobin levels. If you have any of these conditions, you should consult a doctor on this subject as a preventive measure.
