About this test

The Haemoglobin (Hb) Test is a blood test that measures the amount of haemoglobin in the blood. Haemoglobin is an iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to different parts of the body.

This test helps assess anaemia, monitor blood-related conditions, and evaluate overall health. It may be recommended for patients experiencing fatigue, weakness, dizziness, pale skin, or shortness of breath.
