Factors that may affect haemoglobin level, serum iron levels and total iron binding capacity levels.
Factors that may affect haemoglobin level, serum iron levels and total iron binding capacity levels.
Hemoglobin is a conjugated protein found in RBCs. It gives a red color to the blood.
The normal range of Hb in males is 14-16 g /dl, and in females is 13-15g/dl.
The function of Hb is to deliver oxygen to tissues and return carbon dioxide to the lungs. It is influenced by the factors like pH, BPG, and temperature.
The normal serum iron level is 60 to 170 mcg/dl.
The serum iron test measures the amount of iron in the blood. The total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) test indicates how the iron moves through the body. It is used to detect iron deficiency and iron overload.
In the body, iron is majorly bound to Hb and the remaining is bound to transferrin.
