What does Hemoglobin do?

Hemoglobin helps in transporting oxygen from our lungs to all tissues of our body.

It also transports carbon dioxide from our tissues back to our lungs.

As per WHO*

Low hemoglobin range

Adult men꞉ between 13 g/dl

Adult women꞉ between 12 g/dl

Normal hemoglobin range

For men꞉ between 14‑18 g/dl

For women꞉ between 12‑16 g/dl

Accordingto NIH* , a hemoglobin level
below 6.5 g/dl is life threatening

Facts about Hemoglobin

Hemoglobin is a kind of protein in
our blood that contains iron

Hemoglobin contains around
70% of our body's iron

Men lose only small amounts of iron in urine,
feces, gastrointestinal tract and through skin

Women lose a great amount of iron due to blood
loss during their menstruation every month

It has been reported that 3 to 24 mg of iron is
lost during each menstruation cycle*

Hemoglobin is a kind of protein in our
blood that contains iron

Reasons of low Hemoglobin

Reasons of low Hemoglobin

  • Menstruation in women
  • Dietary Deficiency of iron, Vitamin B12 & Folate
  • Pregnancy or growth spurt in children and teenagers
  • Lack of production of RBCs in conditions like cancers and kidney disease
  • Breakdown of RBCs during severe infections and damage from toxins
  • Loss of blood during surgery, accident or child-birth
  • Inability to absorb iron such as in celiac disease

An average adult man has about 1000 mg of stored iron that is enough for about 3 years. An average adult woman has only about 300 mg of stored iron that is enough for only about 6 months. When iron intake is chronically low, hemoglobin level decreases

Iron Deficiency Anemia

Iron Deficiency Anemia

  • Most common type of anemia
  • Develops when the iron reserves in the body drop too low to support RBC production
03

Effects of Iron Deficiency Anemia

Effects of Iron Deficiency Anemia

  • Shortness of breath
  • Leg cramps on climbing stairs
  • Chest Pain
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Low blood pressure and Headache
  • Pale Skin
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Poor appetite

Who is at risk of Iron Deficiency Anemia?
