Viruses typically do not cause high hemoglobin levels directly; rather, they can lead to dehydration or other conditions that might temporarily elevate hemoglobin concentration. In some cases, chronic viral infections may stimulate erythropoiesis (red blood cell production) due to hypoxia or inflammation, potentially resulting in higher hemoglobin levels. However, this is not a common response, and other factors should be considered in evaluating elevated hemoglobin, such as underlying health conditions or environmental factors.

How do you raise the hemoglobin level?

First, determine the cause. In the U.S. (and the world) the most common cause of a high hemoglobin is smoking cigarettes. This is due to the fact that carbon monoxide (in the bloodstream, from the inhaled smoke) binds to hemoglobin, therefore not allowing enough oxygen to bind. The body responds by manufacturing more hemoglobin in order to compensate. So, if you smoke, stopping smoking will take care of this problem. If smoking is not in the equation, then hemochromatosis, or other conditions could be in play. Consult your physician in the case of a high hemoglobin and being a nonsmoker.

What waste product of normal breakdown of hemoglobin?

Bilirubin is a waste product of the normal breakdown of hemoglobin in red blood cells. It is formed in the liver and then excreted in bile. When levels of bilirubin are high, it can cause jaundice.


If you have a high hemocrit would your hemoglobin be high or low?

If you have a high hematocrit, your hemoglobin levels would likely be high as well. Hematocrit measures the volume of red blood cells in blood, while hemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. An increase in hematocrit often corresponds with an increase in hemoglobin levels.


What are the causes of the conginital form of mehtemoglobinemia?

One cause is a defect in the body's systems to reduce methemoglobin to hemoglobin. The other cause is a mutant form of hemoglobin called hemoglobin M that cannot bind to oxygen.
