All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, hemoglobin may be elevated due to dehydration, lung disorder, residence at high altitude and polycythemia. If you level is stable it is not a cause for concern. Wish you good health!
