How do doctors measure your hemoglobin levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lab chemistry or CBC: In clinics, needle venous blood specimen is sent to the lab for direct detection of hemoglobin in blood cells by color intensity metric vs standard to obtain your red cell levels. Fingerstick methods, because of cost, time, other factors are also used worldwide using tiny capillary or cuvettes or chemical means; and seem as good as former in many studies. Indirectly, CBC provides Hgb via indices
