Tests
A quantitative measurement of the amount of hemoglobin present in a biospecimen.
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or HBA2 gene) and 2 molecules of a hemoglobin subunit beta variant where the glutamic acid residue at position 7 has been replaced by valine.
Glossary Term
Disruption of the integrity of the erythrocyte membrane causing release of hemoglobin.
Tests
The determination of the prevalence of erthrocytes with an elevated hemoglobin concentration.
Tests
Iron tests measure different substances in the blood to check iron levels in your body. Iron is a mineral that your body needs for growth and development. Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells. It carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body, Iron is also important for healthy muscles, bone marrow, and organ function. Your body also needs iron to make some hormones .
Indicators
One of nine essential amino acids in humans (present in dietary proteins), Isoleucine has diverse physiological functions, such as assisting wound healing, detoxification of nitrogenous wastes, stimulating immune function, and promoting secretion of several hormones. Necessary for hemoglobin formation and regulating blood sugar and energy levels, isoleucine is concentrated in muscle tissues in humans. Isoleucine is found especially in meats, fish, cheese, eggs, and most seeds and nuts. (NCI04)
Indicators
Blood cells that are devoid of hemoglobin, capable of ameboid motion and phagocytosis, and act as the principal components of the immune system.
Indicators
A product of hemoglobin produced by oxidation of the iron atom from the ferrous to the ferric state.
Tests
The determination of the ratio of methemoglobin compared to total hemoglobin present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.
Tests
The determination of the maximum amount of oxygen that can be combined chemically with hemoglobin in a volume of blood.
Tests
The determination of the ratio of oxyhemoglobin compared to total hemoglobin present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.
Tests
The determination of the amount of partial pressure of oxygen when hemoglobin is half saturated that is present in a sample.
