A hemoglobin test determines the hemoglobin levels found in the blood. Hemoglobin is an amino acid found in your red blood cells, which transports oxygen to tissues and organs and helps transport carbon dioxide away from organs and tissues back to your lungs. A hemoglobin test can be used to determine if you have enough hemoglobin in the blood.
Hemoglobin Test at Maurya Labs is done on 6 part hemoanalyzer.

Hemoglobin test results can be read as within range or higher, or lower than the normal range. If the levels are normal, then Hb is functioning well. If the levels are lower, then Hb is low, which means not enough oxygen is available for the cells. If the Hb is high, there is an underlying condition causing excess production of hemoglobin.
