Is my hemoglobin value of 10 2 too low?​

You received your blood test result with a Hemoglobin value of 10.2 g/dL. This analysis helps you to check if your Hemoglobin value is within normal range. Your Hemoglobin value of 10.2 g/dL is too low. A good Hemoglobin is usually between 12.5 and 17 g/dL. Increase your Hemoglobin by 2.3 g/dL to be within normal range.

What is the normal range for hemoglobin?​

For men, 14-18g/dL are within normal range while for women 12-16g/dL are considered normal. The normal range for children is also different. Typically, a precipitous drop in an individual’s hemoglobin counts are brought forth by conditions that cause the body to either produce or maintain insufficient levels of red blood cells.
What is the meaning of HB hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin (Hb or Hgb) is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. A low hemoglobin count is generally defined as less than 13.5 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter (135 grams per liter) of blood for men and less than 12 grams per deciliter (120 grams per liter) for women.

What is a normal hemoglobin level for a 12 year old?​

Age 6-12 years: 11.5 to 15.5 g/dl (mean 13.5) What Does Low Hemoglobin Mean? Low hemoglobin means that a person’s hemoglobin level when measured, is below the lowest limits of normal for their age and sex (see above normal range of values). For example, a 19 year old male would have low hemoglobin if the detected blood value was below 13.6 g/dl.

What does it mean when your hemoglobin is high?​

High hemoglobin levels mean that measured hemoglobin levels are above the upper limits of normal for the age and sex of the person (see above normal values). For example, a 19 year old that has a detected hemoglobin level of above 17.7 g/dl would have a high hemoglobin level. Some causes for high hemoglobin levels are as follows:

What does a high red blood cell count and high hemoglobin mean?
High hemoglobin levels generally accompany high red blood cell counts. Remember, hemoglobin is found in red blood cells, so the higher your red blood cell count, the higher your hemoglobin level and vice versa. A high red blood cell count and hemoglobin level can indicate several things, including: Congenital heart disease.
Infants tend to have higher average hemoglobin levels than adults do. This is because they have higher oxygen levels in the womb and need more red blood cells to transport the oxygen. But this level starts to go down after several weeks.
