What Is Hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells.
Its main job is to carry oxygen throughout the body and help remove carbon dioxide.
Hemoglobin levels may be low with certain anemia patterns, blood loss, nutritional deficiencies or other medical conditions. Hemoglobin may also be high in some situations, such as dehydration or certain blood disorders.

Low-Cost Anemia Screening Option
This hemoglobin test is a simple and affordable way to check one important blood marker.

- People with fatigue, weakness or low energy
- People following up on anemia concerns
- People with heavy menstrual bleeding
- People monitoring blood loss or prior abnormal blood results
- Customers who want low-cost blood testing without insurance billing
Common Reasons for Testing
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Shortness of breath with activity
- Pale skin
- Heavy menstrual periods
- Blood donation follow-up
- Known or suspected anemia
Hemoglobin vs CBC
A hemoglobin test measures only the hemoglobin level.
A complete blood count CBC provides a broader blood evaluation and may include hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
If your provider requested a CBC, order a CBC instead of hemoglobin alone.
Important Health Warning
If you have chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting, severe weakness, black or bloody stools, vomiting blood, rapid heartbeat, confusion or any urgent medical concern, seek medical care promptly.
Do not use this test as a substitute for urgent medical evaluation, diagnosis or treatment.
Screening and Lab Access Only
LabReqs and SchoolTiters provide access to lab testing. We do not diagnose anemia, internal bleeding, iron deficiency, blood disorders or any medical condition.
This test may provide useful lab information, but results should be reviewed with a licensed healthcare provider, especially if symptoms are present or results are abnormal.
Important Limitations
- This test measures hemoglobin only.
- This test does not include a full CBC unless ordered separately.
- This test does not include iron, ferritin, TIBC, vitamin B12 or folate unless ordered separately.
- A low hemoglobin result does not identify the cause of anemia by itself.
- A normal hemoglobin result does not rule out all blood or iron-related conditions.
- Abnormal results may require additional testing or medical evaluation.
Before Ordering
- Confirm that you need a hemoglobin level test.
- If your provider requested CBC, order a CBC instead.
- If anemia is being evaluated, ask whether iron, ferritin, TIBC, B12 or folate testing should also be ordered.
- Tell your provider about blood loss, heavy periods, pregnancy, supplements, medications and prior abnormal blood results.
- If your result is abnormal, review it with a licensed healthcare provider.

Can this test screen for anemia?
Yes. Hemoglobin is commonly used as a basic anemia screening marker, but it does not identify the cause of anemia by itself.
Is this the same as a CBC?
No. A hemoglobin test measures hemoglobin only. A CBC provides a broader blood count panel.
Should I order a CBC instead?
If your provider requested a complete blood count or broader blood screening, order a CBC instead of hemoglobin alone.
Does this test include iron or ferritin?
No. Iron and ferritin are separate tests unless ordered as part of another panel.
