In anyone who is chronically hypoxic, as can occur to smokers, the body will respond by increasing the production of red blood cells in order to have the ability to carry more oxygen to the tissues. Hemoglobin is one of the components of red blood cells, so when the number of red blood cells increases so does the hemoglobin.

Why is hemoglobin decreased in pneumonia?
in patients with pneumonia, breathing is altered so there will be insufficiency in oxygen supply that would result to decreased hemoglobin. oxygen readily binds to hemoglobin in the lungs and is carried as oxyhemoglobin in arterial blood.
Which mineral allows red blood cells to carry oxygen?
It is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen and iron to the tissues.
What are Hemoglobin shots?
Hemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood, and it contains iron. Hemoglobin shots are a treatment for low iron or anemia. They're a replacement for the body's natural hemoglobin.
What is the molecular basis for the difference in the electrophoretic pattern between normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S?
sickle trait hemoglobin
What is the site of oxygen binding on hemoglobin?
You have Iron atoms in hemoglobin. This atom is the binding site for oxygen in case of hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin level in patients suffering from hemolytic anemia?
55
Why do increased hemoglobin levels decrease blood lactate levels?
mmm you spelled that wrong. its hemoglobin, fyi.
What diseases are caused from hemoglobin a1c deficiency?
Diabetes is caused by a hemoglobin a1c deficiency. Hemoglobin a1c tests are used in the diagnosis of diabetes.Monitoring the hemoglobin a1c in type-1 diabetic patients may improve treatment.
Does hemoglobin values increase in congestive heart failure?
Congestive heart failure causes increased hemoglobin. When the underlying cause is anemia; the body will respond by increasing production of red blood cells (RBCs); withe a responding increase in hematocrit (the percentage of red blood cells in whole blood). Increased RBCs leads to increased hemoglobin levels.
Are you the hemoglobine increase or dcres by vomting?
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.
Why is hemoglobin decreased in pneumonia?
in patients with pneumonia, breathing is altered so there will be insufficiency in oxygen supply that would result to decreased hemoglobin. oxygen readily binds to hemoglobin in the lungs and is carried as oxyhemoglobin in arterial blood.
Do increased temperature result in decreased carbon dioxide unloading from hemoglobin?
False
Is hemoglobin s the same thing as hemoglobin solubility?
Hemoglobin S refers to the hemoglobin that forms in patients with sickle cell anemia. Hemoglobin solubility is a test that can be performed in order to determine if the patient has sickle cell anemia.
Serum is described as hemolyzed in the presence of increased?
Lipids in a nonfasting patient
Which of the following factors would increase the amount of oxygen discharged by hemoglobin to peripheral tissues?
decreased pH, increased temperature or increased levels of CO2
What is the term used to describe increased hemoglobin?
Elevated haemoglobin (shortened to Hb) or a raised haematocrit.
What kind of diet should someone with a high Hemoglobin A count be on if they are predisposed to diabetes?
Carbohydrate restriction is advised for patients that have a high Hemoglobin A count, or AC1. The higher the blood glucose has been in the prior weeks, the higher the AC1.
