Hemoglobin Test

What is a Hemoglobin Test?

A hemoglobin test measures the levels of hemoglobin in your blood. Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. If your hemoglobin levels are abnormal, it may be a sign that you have a blood disorder.

Other names: Hb, Hgb

What is it used for?

A hemoglobin test is often used to check for anemia, a condition in which your body has fewer red blood cells than normal. If you have anemia, the cells in your body don’t get all the oxygen they need. Hemoglobin tests are measured as part of a complete blood count (CBC).

Why do I need a hemoglobin test?

Your health care provider may order the test as part of a routine exam, or if you have:

  • Symptoms of anemia, which include weakness, dizziness, and cold hands and feet
  • A family history of thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, or other inherited blood disorder
  • A diet low in iron and other minerals
  • A long-term infection
  • Excessive blood loss from an injury or surgical procedure
