Comment: This procedure determines the concentration of hemoglobin (HB) in whole blood. Hemoglobin is the major component of the red cell and functions to transport oxygen. It also acts to buffer carbon dioxide formed during metabolic activity. The Hb value is used in the calculation of the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). Use
to evaluate anemia, blood loss, hemolysis, polycythemia, and other conditions
