Step 1

Hemoglobin (Hb) is a protein present in red blood cells that transports oxygen throughout the body and is responsible for the red color of blood. The amount of hemoglobin in a person's blood varies greatly. Men are more likely than women to have higher amounts. For blood donation, a hemoglobin "cut-off" level is determined to guarantee that an individual's hemoglobin does not fall below normal after donating blood. Hemoglobin normal ranges vary by ethnicity, gender, and age, notably in women.
