The measure of hemoglobin can be falsely increased with dehydration. The amount of hemoglobin hasn't gone up, but the hemoglobin as a percent of blood volume is elevated when blood volume decreases.

Does the aortic arch have a high or low concentration of oxygenated blood?
The Aortic Arch (Arcus Aorta) contains a high concentration of oxygenated hemoglobine, since it just came out of the left chamber of the heart which is still fresh from the pulmonairy circuit
What if a doctor tell you that if you are not pregnante and you feel somthing move and vomting up?
Well if a woman is pregnant, it is really easy to detect it. If the doctor says you are not pregnant, then you may not be. Symptoms such as feeling something moving or vomiting can indicate many others things. If you still want to assure yourself, get a home pregnancy kit.
Why is carbon monoxide posionous?
TL;DR, carbon monoxide suffocates you chemically. Carbon monoxide is primarily poisonous because it binds to the oxygen carrying hemoglobine molecules easier than oxygen. This means the carbon monoxide recuces blood's ability to carry oxygen from lungs to tissues. It also adversely affects myoglobine and mitochondria from functioning normally. Carbon monoxide also stays bound to hemoglobine molecules for a relatively long time, before it is supplanted by normal oxygen. In normal atmosphere, the half-life of CO in blood is 320 minutes. Pure oxygen treatment can reduce the half-life to 80 minutes, and hyperbaric oxygen treatment can further reduce the half-life.
How can blood transfusion help thalassemia patients?
There are a few reasons why a person should receive a blood transfusion, lets start off with the most common: - Your hemoglobine(Hb) concentration is very low(around 5,5 mmol/L, differs from hospital), in other words, you have an anemia(You have an anemia when: for women at 7,5 mmol/L, men at 8,0mmol/L). Receiving a blood transfusion will increase your hemoglobine concentration with approx. 1,5 mmol/L each erythrocyt unit(One bag of concentrated erythrocytes). There are alot of causes for a low Hb, a few examples are: iron deficiency, blood lost, auto-immune illness(Your own body is destroying its own erythrocytes) or low production of erythrocytes. - Thallassemia, This is an disorder of your bone marrow. With this disorder your bone marrow is not able to create hemoglobine the right way. It is able to make erythrocytes, but no good ones. Your liver and milt filters of the blood and will detect these bad erythrocytes and destroy them. People with this disorder have to receive a blood transfusion monthly. The only cure is to receive a bone marrow donation. - Your coagulation is drastically slow. You will not receive a normal bag of erythrocytes, but a bag of blood plasma. This plasma still contains the coagulation proteins(Factors, example: factor VII etc.). With these you will get your coagulation faster, else risks are you will have a high chance of bleedings. - Your trombocytes are very low. You will receive a bag of concentrated trombocytes. You will receive these when your trombocytes are below 50 /fL(may varray per hospital). This is a short answer to your question, other reasons may be added by other people.

When can you repeat hemoglobin determination after transfusion?
if your aim is to get a result based on the capability of the body to sustain its own blood supply it would be after 120 days the lifespan of a red blood cell is 120 days, so after 120 days all the donor blood will be gone and all the hemoglobine that has been measured will have to have been produce by the patient in question.
What blood cell carry's oxygen?
Hemoglobin is a metalloprotein, containing iron, that is within red blood cells and binds to gasses like oxygen in order to transport those gasses in the blood.
How oxygen is carries in the blood?
The molecules of oxygen stuck to special receptors in the blood (fueled by iron as a mineral). these receptors are called hemoglobine. Roughly, the less iron intake one has, the worse the passage of oxygen is, and such undernourished person may experience shortness of breath due to the lack of iron in his blood.
What percent is an increase of 20?
It depends on where you are starting from. An increase from 10 (to 30) is a 200% increase. An increase from 100 (to 120) is a 20% increase.
