Blood analysis for hemoglobin
A blood test for hemoglobin is a blood test to determine the level of hemoglobin in the blood.
Hemoglobin is the most important element of blood, an iron-containing protein and the main component of erythrocytes. It is hemoglobin that colors the blood red. It has the ability to capture oxygen and transport it to the organs. Without hemoglobin, normal saturation of tissues with oxygen would be impossible, which affects many metabolic processes in the body. With a lack of hemoglobin in the blood, anemia (anemia) develops.
