Low hemoglobin (Hb) or anemia is common among pregnant women in developing countries which may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes and maternal deaths. Our study aimed to assess Hb level measured by midwives in primary health care facility at rural area of Jatinangor, Indonesia, and to explore ...
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...
Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells and hematocrit is a measurement of the amount of red blood cells as related to total blood cell count. Both hemoglobin and hematocrit are used to diagnose anemia. Both hemoglobin and hematocrit can be measured from standard blood tests, and both value...
This paper addresses two questions: 1) What is the relation of hemoglobin in the second gestational month to preterm birth and low birth weight? 2) How does the relation differ when hemoglobin in the fifth or eighth month or the lowest pregnancy hemoglobin are examined in place of first trime...
Hemoglobin is the primary oxygen-carrying molecule within red blood cells, so anemia is most typically measured in terms of hemoglobin content of the blood rather than red blood cell volume1,2. Anemia can reduce cognitive and physical capacities and is associated with reduced economic productivity3...

Another reason for a high white blood cell count is anemia. Anemia is a condition in which there is an abnormally low amount ofhemoglobinin the blood. Hemoglobin is substance present in red blood cells that helps carry oxygen to cells in the body. High levels of white blood cells can be ...
Levels of hemoglobin are measured through ahemoglobin test. This test is usually part of a complete blood count, which is a blood test that measures various aspects of your blood.2 While the normal range might slightly differ from lab to lab, normal hemoglobin levels typically fall within the...
How is hemoglobin measured? Hemoglobin is usually measured as a part of the routine complete blood count (CBC) test from a blood sample. The hemoglobin level is expressed as the amount of hemoglobin in grams (gm) per deciliter (dL) of whole blood, a deciliter being 100 milliliters. Seve...
