Hemoglobin

In the blood, haemoglobin (Hb) is a protein made of iron that moves oxygen from the lungs to the body's cells. The haemoglobin test measures how much haemoglobin there is in your blood. This test looks for anemia as part of a complete blood count (CBC) when your body doesn't have enough red blood cells.

If you have anaemia, the cells in your body do not receive the quantity of oxygen they require, and as a result, they do not function properly. People who have too much or too little haemoglobin may experience fatigue and shortness of breath.

In adults, the average hemoglobin level in men is a little higher than that in women. The best way to raise your haemoglobin level is to eat more iron-rich foods and take iron supplements.
