Hemoglobin electrophoresis is a test that measures the different types of hemoglobin in the blood. It also checks for hemoglobinopathy, disorders involving abnormal types of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells. It carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. There are a few different types of normal and abnormal hemoglobin.

Pruebas
Point-of-care measurement of oxygenation, ventilation, acid-base status, and electrolytes in critically ill patients.

Indicadores
Hemoglobin where the heme group has formed a stable complex with carbon monoxide (CO). This complex is produced after CO has been inhaled or as a byproduct of hemoglobin, protoporphyrin or dichloromethane catabolism. The heme-CO complex is approximately 200 times more stable than heme-oxygen complexes. Thus, high levels of carboxyhemoglobin in the circulation can lead to tissue hypoxia and death.
Pruebas
The determination of the ratio of the deoxyhemoglobin to total hemoglobin present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.

A long-term measure of average blood glucose over roughly the preceding two to three months, used to diagnose and monitor diabetes.

Pruebas
This test measures the amount of haptoglobin in your blood. Haptoglobin is a protein made by your liver to get rid of the hemoglobin outside your red blood cells.
For everyone & professionals
Indicadores
Glycated hemoglobin — an integrated measure of average blood glucose over roughly the preceding two to three months.
Pruebas
The determination of the amount of Heinz bodies (denatured hemoglobin) present in a sample.

Pruebas
A hematocrit test is a blood test that measures the amount (percent) of your blood that is made up of red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. The other parts of your blood include white blood cells (to help fight infection and other diseases), platelets (to help make blood clots to stop bleeding ), and a liquid called plasma.

Indicadores
The red respiratory protein of erythrocytes, consisting of approximately 3.8% heme and 96.2% globin (64.5 KD), which as oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) transports oxygen from the lungs to the tissues where the oxygen is readily released and HbO2 becomes Hb.
