The concentration of Haemoglobin is normally reduced in conditions where by the person has an high iron. The level is reduced over a period of time by bleeding the person not unlike giving blood for donation, however the high levels of iron build up in the liver over a period of time and cannot be removed

Type of hemoglobin contains iron in the ferric state?
hemoglobin F
What mineral element is connected to hemoglobin?
The mineral element connected to hemoglobin is Iron.
How gas behavior affect backpackers at high altitudes?
At high altitude the pressure is lower and the concentration of oxygen also lower.
What substance is needed for hemoglobin synthesis?
Hemoglobin is the protein that, along with water, makes up a red blood cell. Hemoglobin is made from two substances, heme and globin. In order for hemoglobin synthesis to take place, two chains of globin must connect to one another. Without these chains, hemoglobin synthesis cannot happen.
Does carbon monoxide bind to hemoglobin or oxygen better?
Carbon monoxide bind easily to hemoglobin.
If you had high hematocrit would your hemoglobin be high or low?
RBCs are made up of hemoglobin, therefore if the hematocrit is high you should expect a high hemoglobin determination.
The phenomenon involving the greater combination of CO2 with hemoglobin at a lower Po2 and at a lower degree of hemoglobin saturation with O2 is called the?
Haldane effect
Can blood thinners lower hemoglobin?
yes
Is asthma related to high hemoglobin?
No, asthma is related to low hemoglobin.
If you have a high hemocrit would your hemoglobin be high or low?
it would be high
How high would a hemoglobin level be to indicate lung cancer?
There is no correlation between hemoglobin and lung cancer. A high or low hemoglobin can mean any number of conditions; people with lung cancer can have any level of hemoglobin depending on situation and other conditions.
Would the hemoglobin content be higher or lower if the red blood cellls weren't completely hemolyzed?
If you mean the hemoglobin content of the plasma...it would be lower if the RBCs weren't completely broken down.
Does smoking marijuana cause high hemoglobin?
no
Is hemoglobin level at 152 for a 52 year old male high?

If a person is dehydrated is his hemoglobin higher or lower?

Why are hemoglobin tests useful?
This information can be used to help physician's diagnose and monitor anemia (a low hemoglobin level) and polycythemia vera (a high hemoglobin level).
Does a low pH decrease hemoglobins affinity for oxygen?
Yes. This an example of the Bohr effect. If pH is lower than normal (normal is 7.4), then hemoglobin does not bind oxygen as well. The higher the pH, the lower the H ion concentration, the lower the carbon dioxide level, and the GREATER affinity hemoglobin has for oxygen. The binding of oxygen to hemoglobin in the lungs is not affected by changing the pH.
