Normal hemoglobin value

Hemoglobin is a protein present in the blood that helps the human body release oxygen. It is also an important reference for clinical diagnosis of anemia in the human body. After the physical examination, whether the hemoglobin is too high or too low, you need to undergo further detailed physical examinations. If other data show that you are anemic, you need to pay attention to the treatment of anemia.

However, many friends do not know what the normal hemoglobin value is after checking their hemoglobin, which makes it impossible for them to judge their own physical condition. In order to help you understand your physical condition in detail, let’s take a look at the normal hemoglobin value here.

Hemoglobin is a protein responsible for carrying oxygen in higher organisms and is the protein that makes blood red. Hemoglobin consists of four chains, two α chains and two β chains, each of which has a ring-shaped heme containing an iron atom. Oxygen is bound to iron atoms and transported in the blood. The characteristics of hemoglobin are: it easily combines with oxygen in places with high oxygen content; and it easily separates from oxygen in places with low oxygen content. This characteristic of hemoglobin enables red blood cells to transport oxygen.

Hemoglobin is used in biochemical research, culture of influenza virus, gonococci, tularemia bacillus, streptococci, pneumococci, etc., and pigments.

Normal parameter

Adult male: 120-160 g/L

Adult female: 110-150 g/L

Newborn: 170-200 g/L

Adolescents (children): 110-160 g/L

High hemoglobin

Hemoglobin is a protein responsible for transporting oxygen in higher organisms. It is mainly found in the blood of vertebrates, some invertebrates and root nodules of legumes. The normal hemoglobin value for adult males is 120-160g/L, the normal value for adult females is 110-150g/L, the normal value for newborns is 170-200g/L, and the normal value for children is 110-160g/L.

There are many reasons for high hemoglobin, which can be roughly divided into physiological increase and pathological increase. Physiological increase is common in plateau residents, fetuses and newborns, strenuous exercise, heavy sweating, fear, etc.; pathological increase is common in large-area burns, severe diarrhea, chronic adrenal insufficiency, diabetes insipidus, hyperthyroidism, cardiopulmonary disease, vascular malformations and other diseases.

After knowing the normal value of hemoglobin, if you find that it is too high or too low after exercising your body, don't be too nervous, because a single data cannot represent your current physical condition. Only the combination of multiple data can indicate whether your body is in a healthy state.
