Tests
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.

Indicators
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.
Indicators
A tetrameric complex of 2 molecules of hemoglobin subunit alpha (encoded by either the HBA1 or HBA2 gene) and 2 molecules of hemoglobin subunit delta (encoded by the HBD gene).
Tests
The determination of the amount of hemoglobin c crystals present in a sample.

Tests
The determination of the amount of hemoglobin C present in a sample.
For professionals
Tests
The determination of the ratio of Hemoglobin C compared to total Hemoglobin present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.

Tests
A quantitative measurement of the distribution of the hemoglobin concentration in red blood cells.

Tests
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.

Indicators
A tetrameric complex of 2 molecules of hemoglobin subunit alpha (encoded by either the HBA1 or HBA2 gene) and 2 molecules of hemoglobin subunit gamma (encoded by either the HBG1 or HBG2 gene).
Tests
The determination of the ratio of hemoglobin G compared to total hemoglobin present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.
For professionals
Tests
A quantitative measurement of the amount of hemoglobin present in a biospecimen.
For professionals
Indicators
A tetrameric complex of 2 molecules of hemoglobin subunit alpha (encoded by either the HBA1 or HBA2 gene) and 2 molecules of a hemoglobin subunit beta variant where the glutamic acid residue at position 7 has been replaced by valine.
