What is a the normal hemoglobin level for a baby?
For an infant, normal hemoglobin is 14-22 g/dL
How does sickle cell hemoglobin differ from normal hemoglobin?
Sickle cell hemoglobin differs from normal hemoglobin primarily due to a single amino acid substitution in the hemoglobin protein chain. In sickle cell disease, a person inherits two copies of an abnormal hemoglobin gene, usually referred to as HbS. In normal hemoglobin (HbA), the amino acid glutamic acid is present at a specific position in the beta chain of the hemoglobin protein. However, in sickle cell hemoglobin (HbS), this glutamic acid is replaced by valine due to a genetic mutation. This change causes the hemoglobin molecules to stick together under certain conditions, forming long, rigid structures that distort red blood cells into a sickle or crescent shape.
What are normal hemoglobin levels or amounts of iron for neonates?
Normal levels of hemoglobin for neonates are 17 - 22 g/dl.
What are normal hemoglobin levels or amounts of iron for adult females?

What is the difference between a micro pet and a normal pet?
the difference between a micro pet and a normal pet is that a micro pet is a really small animal such as a micro pig and a normal animal is a animal just like a normal person normal size normal wight and that is the difference between a normal animal and a micro animal.
Is 15.2 hemoglobin normal?
yes
Is a hemoglobin level of 17.6 normal?
The normal hemoglobin level ranges from 12-18 grams per deciliter. Above normal hemoglobin levels may result in dehydration, excess production of rbc in bone marrow and other conditions.

What is the normal Hemoglobin or Hg in a Male patient?
Normal Hemoglobin levels in a Male is 13.8 to 17.2 gm/dL but this can vary based on various labs and what they consider to be the normal range.
