Indicators
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.
Tests
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.
For professionals
Tests
The determination of the amount of free hemoglobin present in a sample.

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 beta (encoded by the HBB gene).
Tests
The determination of the amount of hemoglobin A1B present in a sample.
For professionals
Tests
A hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) test is a blood test that shows your average level of blood glucose , also called blood sugar, over the past two to three months.
