HGB in a hematology analysis report stands for hemoglobin. It is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. The HGB level is used to diagnose and monitor different types of anemia and other blood disorders.
Rupturing of a red blood cell with the release of hemoglobin is known as hemolysis. Hemolysis can occur due to various factors such as infections, autoimmune disorders, or genetic conditions, leading to the destruction of red blood cells and the release of their contents into the bloodstream.
