gm/dl; GRAMS of hemoglobin that are present in a DECILITER of a blood sample
g/dL
Fasting is not typically required for a hemoglobin and hematocrit test. These tests measure the levels of red blood cells in the blood and do not require fasting for accurate results.
YES YES YES YES! Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, as well as a variety of electrolytes!!
A hemoglobin of 16.5 and hematocrit of 47.6 are within normal ranges for adults. These values indicate that your blood has sufficient oxygen-carrying capacity. However, it's always best to interpret these results in the context of your overall health and symptoms with the help of a healthcare provider.
Anemia
Clinically significant hemolysis is rare problem but it can affect red blood cell count and density of plasma. Studies have been done about the effect of hemolysis on hematocrit and the results stated that the changes appear too small to be accurately detected.
Hemoconcentration typically affects blood tests that measure the concentration of various components in the blood, such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, and electrolytes. It may lead to falsely elevated results due to a decrease in the plasma volume, causing the concentration of these components to appear higher than they actually are.
No, fasting won't compromise your hemoglobin results.
Taking zovirax may increase lab results for BUN, creatinine, liver enzymes, and bilirubin. It may decrease hemoglobin and hematocrit. It may increase or decrease platelet counts, neutrophils and white blood cell counts.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
hemoglobin 11.5
It is known as bilirubin.
