Perfect!: Hb1ac  has an upper limit of normal of 5.5
this test does not change quickly; only if your diet, exercise, and/or weight have changed a lot will it change.

If, however, you rdoctor suspected diabetes, then the lab test may have been in error and needs repeating.

Question 9

what does hgb stand for?

Accepted Answer

Ok: Hgb is the abbreviation for hemoglobin.  This test and the hct --hematocrit are the main basic tests to determine if a person has anemia.

Question 10

hgb ur  ql trace-intact mean?

Accepted Answer

Several things: Hi. Either you&#x27;re having intravascular hemolysis and hemoglobin&#x27;s coming out in the urine, or there are red cells in the urine that measure as urinary hemoglobin. I&#x27;d recommend a urine analysis with microscopic evaluation to see if it&#x27;s reproducible. If no RBCs in urine, Check serum free hemoglobin and haptoglobin, and have a pathologist look at a peripheral blood smear. Good luck!
