Abnormal hemoglobin is a lab result . First it is important to know what hemoglobin is, it is the stuff that fills your red blood cells. You will have to check with your doctor about the meanings of high hemoglobin or look it up online. But low hemoglobin generally signals a problem because there is not enough to fill the red blood cells. An abnormal hemoglobing test really doesnt tell me anything, you should also look at your bilirubin which tells how fast blood cells are being destroyed and the actual red blood celll count which may be labeled RBC or TBC for total blood cell count.

Can Hemoglobin Levels cause HIV?
HIV is a virus that causes AIDS. It does not result from abnormal hemoglobin or abnormal hemoglobin levels.
What characteristics does an abnormal fetal hemoglobin test have?
Greater than 2% of total hemoglobin is abnormal.
What are hemoglobinopathies?
There are two categories of hemoglobinopathy. In the first category, abnormal globin chains give rise to abnormal hemoglobin molecules. In the second category, normal hemoglobin chains are produced but in abnormal amounts.
In which hereditary disease does abnormal hemoglobin differ from normal hemoglobin by only a single amino acid?
Sickle-cell anemia
What type of amenia has abnormal shaped hemoglobin?
sickle-cell anemia.
Can all abnormal hemoglobin be diagnosed by electrophoresis?
BIO 232! Boiler up
What is the medical term meaning homozygous condition resulting in the formation of abnormal hemoglobin that distorts certain blood cells?
The medical term is sickle cell anemia, which is caused by a genetic mutation leading to the production of abnormal hemoglobin. This abnormal hemoglobin causes red blood cells to become rigid and take on a crescent or "sickle" shape, which can lead to various complications.
Is a genetic disorder characterized by production of abnormal hemoglobin?
Yes, sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder characterized by production of abnormal hemoglobin. This abnormal hemoglobin causes red blood cells to change shape, leading to various health issues including anemia, pain crises, and organ damage.
What diseases is hemoglobin electrophoresis used to diagnose?
The test is used primarily to diagnose diseases involving these abnormal forms of hemoglobin, such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia.
What is Sickle Cell Disease caused by?
Abnormal hemoglobin in your blood cells. Hemoglobin is a protein in the blood cells that allows the cells to carry oxygen and gives them their red color. The abnormal hemoglobin causes the cells to turn from their usual donut shape to a C or sickle shape.
Genes involved in the production of abnormal red blood cells have an abnormal sequence of?
Genes involved in the production of abnormal red blood cells may have mutations in their DNA sequence, leading to changes in the protein structure that result in abnormal red blood cells. These mutations can affect genes like HBB (hemoglobin beta), which is important for normal hemoglobin production, leading to conditions like sickle cell anemia.
Is hemophilia a genetic disorder in which an abnormal form of hemoglobin is produced?
Hemophilia is not related to hemoglobin. It is a genetic disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot due to a deficiency in clotting factors. Hemoglobinopathies, on the other hand, are disorders related to the structure and production of hemoglobin.
