Hemoglobin is a marker for the amount/ number of red cells in the blood. If this gets too high the blood gets viscous and has trouble circulating leading to strokes and other other problems. It can be caused by a number of problems such as lung disease, cancer, and others and so you really should be exploring this with your doctor.

What role does fibrinogen play in the body?

Fibrinogen is part of the coagulation cascade, which results in the formation of a thrombus (clot). An enzyme called thrombin is activated in the coagulation cascade, which converts soluble fibrinogen in the blood into insoluble fibrin in the thrombus. So, fibrin can be thought of as the "cement" in a thrombus, holding the platelets together, and fibrinogen is the precursor.

Why do newborn have higher hemoglobin than adults?

Newborns have higher hemoglobin levels than adults primarily due to the need for efficient oxygen transport during fetal development, as they rely on the placenta for oxygen. This fetal hemoglobin (HbF) has a higher affinity for oxygen than adult hemoglobin (HbA), allowing newborns to extract oxygen more effectively from maternal blood. After birth, hemoglobin levels gradually decrease as the infant's body transitions to producing adult hemoglobin and as the effects of maternal blood diminish.


How does the effectiveness of carbon monoxide bonding to hemoglobin compare to that of oxygen?

Carbon monoxide has a higher affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen does. This means that carbon monoxide binds more strongly to hemoglobin, reducing the ability of oxygen to bind and be transported in the blood.
