Clinical Significance
Abnormal hemoglobin levels can indicate various health issues. Low levels may suggest conditions such as anemia, while high levels can be associated with dehydration or other underlying health problems. The diagnostic value of the Hemoglobin test lies in its ability to provide crucial information about your blood health. However, only a healthcare provider can interpret your results accurately and guide you on any necessary follow-up actions.
Reference Ranges
Reference ranges for hemoglobin levels can vary based on factors such as age, sex, and the laboratory methods used. Generally, normal ranges are established for different demographics, and your healthcare provider will interpret your results in this context. It’s important to understand that what is considered normal for one person may not be the same for another.
