About the Test
Haemoglobin is the iron-rich protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of the body, and its level is one of the most fundamental blood measurements. A low haemoglobin defines anaemia and can cause tiredness, breathlessness and pallor, while a high level may occur with dehydration or other conditions. The test is a quick, essential check whenever fatigue, blood loss or a red-cell disorder is suspected.
What is it? A blood test measuring haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red cells, often abbreviated Hb or Hgb.

Understanding your Haemoglobin results
A low haemoglobin indicates anaemia, which has many causes from iron deficiency to blood loss, and often needs further tests to find the reason, while a high value can reflect dehydration or other conditions. Haemoglobin is usually read as part of a full blood count. Your doctor reviews the report and advises on any next steps.
