Yes and no.... hemoglobin is the part of the blood that actually carries the oxygen - hematocrit is the measure of red blood cells. The 2 are definitely related but measure differences in the same family

Do hematocrit and hemoglobin content of blood measure the same thing?

Hematocrit and hemoglobin content of blood measure are not the same thing. The hematocrit, also known as the HCT, is the percentage of RBC in the blood volume. Hemoglobin, on the other hand, also known as HGB, is the measurement of protein in the blood.


Is the cause of anemia the same in all cases?

No. Laboratory signs indicating anemia vary with the underlying cause or type of anemia. it may include abnormal hemoglobin concentrations in the blood and a reduced hematocrit level.


What condition can result in an increased hematocrit?

Dehydration can lead to an increased hematocrit because there is a decrease in plasma volume while the amount of red blood cells remains the same, causing the overall concentration of red blood cells in the blood to increase.


Is giraffe blood red?

Giraffe blood is indeed red as it is functionally the same as human blood , using hemoglobin to carry oxygen.


Does blood and hemoglobin increase at the same time?

yes they increase at the same time as the number of red blood cells increase (which contain hemoglobin) the quantity of the blood increase.Not neccesaryly, theres a disease whose name i have forgoten in which due to a deficiency in either iron intake or absorption or both, the body is unable to form heamoglobin. why do u guys spell it hemoglobin its HEAMOGLOBIN. jeez


Are hemoglobin and iron the same thing?

No, hemoglobin and iron are not the same thing. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that is responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Iron, on the other hand, is a mineral that is a critical component of hemoglobin, allowing it to bind to oxygen. While they are related in function, they are distinct substances with different roles in physiology.


What Deliver?

Hemoglobin found in red blood cells deliver oxygen to all of our cells. The same hemoglobin also brings back carbon dioxide from the cells, which you "blow" off.


Is monkey blood the same as human blood?

the 287 hemoglobin units in a chimp are the same 287 hemoglobin units in a human. Humans did evolve from the chimp as did the gibbon,orangutan,gorilla and monkey. These animals cannot exchange blood with a chimp because it would kill them. They are not the same species because they evolved from the chimp.Humans did not evolve from the chimp because they have the 287 identical hemoglobin units as a chimp. The common chimp, the bonobo and the human have identical hemoglobin along with 98.4% same DNA. Go weigh it out.


10cm3 of normal specimen of human blood contains 1.2 grams of hemoglobin How many grams does 36 cm3 of the same blood contain?

4.32


How can you blood level go from 6.6 to 7.9 with in 8 hrs the test was done at the same lab?

By blood level I assume that you are referring to Hemoglobin measurement. This rise in hemoglobin is possible in many different scenarios. If the patient was receiving a transfusion of packed red blood cells, we would expect to see a 1.0 mg/dL rise in hemoglobin post-transfusion. Another way this might be possible is due to the variation in instrumentation, repeat analysis of the same sample do not always result in the same value.


Is heme and hemoglobin the same?

Heme + globin is Hemoglobin.


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.
