Purpose: We investigated the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components and erythrocyte parameters such as red blood cell count (RBC) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels, and their association with the risk of deep myometrial invasion in endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC). Patien...
A low hemoglobin level is referred to as anemia or low red blood count. A lower-than-normal number of red blood cells is referred to as anemia and hemoglobin levels reflect this number. There are many reasons (causes) for anemia. What causes low hemoglobin levels? Some of the more common...
Red blood cells, also called erythrocytes, contain a protein called hemoglobin. This remarkable molecule acts like a magnet for oxygen, picking it up in our lungs and releasing it to tissues and organs throughout our body. Without this constant supply of oxygen, our cells wouldn’t be able t...

What level of hemoglobin is dangerously low? Hemoglobin (Hb or Hgb) is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. A low hemoglobin count is generally defined as less than 13.5 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter (135 grams per liter) of blood for men andless than...
Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. Hemoglobin is routinely measured as part of a routine blood test termed blood count (CBC). A complete blood count is...
Mean hemoglobin, red cell volume, serum creatinine, CD4 count, and HIV viral load from the same period were collected in HIV-infected patients. Although measured-Gly was not significantly different between non-HIV-infected (6.95+/-3.23 mM) and HIV-infected patients (6.62+/-2.42 mM), HbA1c ...
What Causes Low Red Blood Cell Count? As we have read earlier, the amount of oxygen received by the body is determined by the number of red blood cells in blood. The oxygen from the lungs binds with the hemoglobin of the red blood cells, which is then circulated throughout the body. ...
The complete blood count (CBC) is the most common test used to confirm anemia. It is part of the routine tests done. The complete CBC test the hemoglobin and hematocrit. The hemoglobin is the iron-rich protein part in the red blood cell that carries the oxygen. The hematocrit is a ...
Hemoglobin is an essential part of red blood cells that delivers oxygen to all parts of the body. Both low and high levels can adversely affect our health. In this post, we will go over the symptoms of high and low hemoglobin and health issues and diseases that increase or decrease its ...
