There are more than 100 types of HPV, the virus that causes warts. Almost all types of HPV cause relatively harmless warts that appear on your hands or feet. However, there are a few strains of HPV that cause warts on, in, and around your genitals.
Hemoglobin Test. Definition. Hemoglobin is a protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. A hemoglobin test reveals how much hemoglobin is in a person's blood, helping to diagnose and monitor anemia and polycythemia vera.
The total hemoglobin test estimates the amount of hemoglobin in the blood, and gives an idea of the bloodâs ability to carry oxygen. (Though not part of a CBC, a laboratory technique called electrophoresis may be used to detect the presence of abnormal hemoglobins, which often do not work as well as normal ones.)
