  2. Sickle cell disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sickle_cell_disease

    The mutation which causes sickle cell disease results in an abnormal hemoglobin known as hemoglobin S (HbS), which replaces HbA in adults. [20] The human genome contains a pair of genes for β-globin; in people with sickle cell disease, both genes are affected and the erythropoietic cells in the bone marrow will only create HbS.

  3. Hemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin

    Hemoglobin in the blood carries oxygen from the respiratory organs (lungs or gills) to the other tissues of the body, where it releases the oxygen to enable aerobic respiration which powers an animal's metabolism. A healthy human has 12 to 20 grams of hemoglobin in every 100 mL of blood. Hemoglobin is a metalloprotein, a chromoprotein, and ...

  4. Hereditary spherocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_spherocytosis

    The hemoglobin A1C levels are abnormally low because the life span of the red blood cells is decreased - providing less time for the non-enzymatic glycosylation of hemoglobin. Thus, even with high overall blood sugar, the A1C will be lower than expected. Iron overload. Leg ulcer. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Cardiovascular disease.

    Certain disorders, however, cause a significantly increased variation in cell size. Higher RDW values indicate greater variation in size. Normal reference range of RDW-CV in human red blood cells is 11.5–15.4%.

    Hemoglobin has an oxygen binding capacity between 1.36 and 1.40 ml O 2 per gram hemoglobin, [23] which increases the total blood oxygen capacity seventyfold, [24] compared to if oxygen solely were carried by its solubility of 0.03 ml O 2 per liter blood per mm Hg partial pressure of oxygen (about 100 mm Hg in arteries). [24]

  7. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    All values in Hematology – red blood cells (except hemoglobin in plasma) All values in Hematology – white blood cells; Platelet count (Plt) A few values are for inside red blood cells only: Vitamin B 9 (folic acid/folate) in red blood cells; Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC)
