How fatal is a hemoglobin level of 4.7?
A hemoglobin level of 4.7 is dangerously low and if not properly treated could become fatal. Normally, women should have a hemoglobin level of 12 or more, men 13 or more. Generally, hospitals will begin emergency blood transfusions when the hemoglobin level drops below 7 or 8.
Why there is difference in hemoglobin level in men and women?
Menstruation and poor diet.
Is male hemoglobin count 12.8 too low?
Isl haemoglobin in men 11.9 is too low?
What happens if there is low-level of technology?
cave men days
Why do Asian men not have facial hair?
low level of testosterone .
What is the difference between the hemoglobin level in humans and cows?
Cows typically have a range of 80 - 150 grams per liter hemoglobin. Humans have an average range of 120 â?? 150 for women and 130 â?? 170 for men.
What if your hemoglobin is 5?
Normal range for hemoglobin is different between the sexes and is approximately 13 to 18 grams per deciliter for men and 12 to 16 for women (international units 8.1 to 11.2 millimoles/liter for men, 7.4 to 9.9 for women). A low red blood cell count or low hemoglobin may suggest anemia, which can have many causes.
What role does fibrinogen play in the body?
Fibrinogen is part of the coagulation cascade, which results in the formation of a thrombus (clot). An enzyme called thrombin is activated in the coagulation cascade, which converts soluble fibrinogen in the blood into insoluble fibrin in the thrombus. So, fibrin can be thought of as the "cement" in a thrombus, holding the platelets together, and fibrinogen is the precursor.
What are normal hemoglobin values for men?
Women = 13.9 Men = 14.3 Hb (G Per DL Blood)
Why is there a difference in the hemoglobin levels of men women and children?
In their recent Blood correspondence, Murphy et al. postulate that the reason that men and woman have different red cell masses despite similar erythropoietin levels is due to physiologic modulation of the Fahraeus-Lindqvist effect by age, gender and red cell count 1. This hypothesis is based on the authors' observation that the difference between the venous and finger capillary hemoglobin concentrations was inversely proportional to the capillary hemoglobin level and parallel for both sexes. However, the mechanism for preferentially improved modulation of tissue oxygen delivery in women on this basis remains to be explained, particularly since the differences between the venous and finger capillary hemoglobin concentrations in men and women disappear with age even though erythropoietin production does not change with age 2. I would assert to the contrary that the explanation for differences in the red cell mass between men and women lies elsewhere and that the Fahraeus-Lindqvist effect is unlikely to be involved. First, Murphy et al. conflate the venous-capillary hemoglobin concentration difference with the so-called f-cell ratio, which is calculated by dividing the total body venous hematocrit, derived from direct measurement of the red cell mass and plasma volume, by the peripheral venous hematocrit. Importantly, unlike the authors' observed differences between the venous and capillary hemoglobin concentrations, the f-cell ratio is independent of the actual venous hematocrit and gender. Second, it is also highly unlikely that even a peripheral capillary hematocrit could serve as a surrogate for the directly measured total body hematocrit because of the wide variation in the hematocrit in various body tissues 3. Third, the hemoglobin level is a measure of something entirely different than the hematocrit and cannot be used as a substitute as the authors infer. Fourth, it is also formally possible that the authors' age-related data simply represent a regression towards the mean because as men age their hemoglobin level falls, while the female hemoglobin level does not change appreciably 4.Thus, contrary to the authors' data, the difference between the venous and capillary hemoglobin concentrations in men should have risen with age, not fallen, and the difference for the women should have remained constant unless anemia ensued. But by far the most important explanation for the difference in the hemoglobin level between normal men and women despite similar serum erythropoietin levels, is male androgen production, which the authors reject. However, when men were chemically castrated, their serum erythropoietin levels remained unchanged but their hemoglobin levels fell and when testosterone production was restored, the hemoglobin level recovered without a change in the serum erythropoietin level 5. As a corollary, when women were given testosterone, their hemoglobin levels increased. Thus, the difference between men and women with respect to hemoglobin and serum erythropoietin levels can be simply explained on a hormonal basis without having to invoke changes in tissue capillary blood flow, particularly when there is no evidence that peripheral capillary blood flow recapitulates that in the kidney where the bulk of erythropoietin is produced in the adult...

My hemoglobin count has dropped from 13.9 to 9.2 in the last 4 months. Is this dangerous?
A drop in hemoglobin levels can be a sign of a serious health problem and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body's tissues. A normal hemoglobin level for adult men is typically between 13.5 and 17.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL), while a normal range for adult women is 12.0 to 15.5 g/dL. A level of 9.2 g/dL is considered to be very low and could indicate anemia or other underlying health conditions. A sudden drop in hemoglobin level of 4 g/dL in 4 months is definitely concerning. It is important to visit a healthcare provider as soon as possible for an evaluation and to determine the cause of the drop in hemoglobin. Anemia, which is a condition characterized by low hemoglobin levels, can be caused by a variety of factors, including blood loss, poor nutrition, chronic diseases such as kidney disease or cancer, and certain medications. Anemia can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and pale skin. It's important to address the underlying cause of anemia as soon as possible to prevent complications, such as heart failure.
