What Does HB Stand For?
HB stands for Hemoglobin
HB, or Hemoglobin, is a vital protein found in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body and facilitating the return of carbon dioxide to the lungs for exhalation. It plays a crucial role in maintaining overall metabolic functions and ensuring adequate oxygen supply for cellular processes. Hemoglobin levels are commonly assessed in clinical settings to evaluate overall health, diagnose anemia, and monitor various medical conditions.
