HAEMOGLOBIN

Hemoglobin, the crucial protein found in red blood cells that imparts the red color to blood, serves the vital function of carrying oxygen in the body. When donating blood or platelets at Hypro Diagnostics, regular checks on hemoglobin levels ensure that the act of giving doesn’t lead to a drop below the normal range. These levels vary based on gender, age, and ethnicity, with men typically having higher levels than women. To safeguard donors, a hemoglobin “cut-off” is established, preventing post-donation levels from falling too low. Individuals with hemoglobin levels below the norm are considered anemic, a condition often linked to iron deficiency. This comprehensive understanding underscores the importance of maintaining hemoglobin levels for overall health. Have you ever considered contributing to Hypro Diagnostics through blood donation?
