Shrewd, delicate and refined, Laurent , Arkady and Ardeshir are endowed with a certain natural aristocracy. They like to show off and enjoy being admired, hoping to be a living breathing example to others. They are strong-willed, disciplined, ambitious, authoritarian and full of beans. With so many solar strings to their bow, one shouldnÂ´t be surprised to learn that they are very often born under the zodiacal sign of Leo! Nevertheless, they could easily fall prey to pride, arrogance or egocentricity.
(For more, see the What is being tested? section.) A hemoglobin test may be used to: Screen for, diagnose, and measure the severity of anemia (low RBCs, hemoglobin and hematocrit) or polycythemia (high RBCs, hemoglobin and hematocrit) Monitor the response to treatment of anemia or polycythemia.
Hemoglobin is usually measured as a part of the complete blood count (CBC) test from a blood sample. Several methods exist for measuring hemoglobin, most of which are done currently by automated machines designed to perform different tests on blood. Within the machine, the red blood cells are broken down to get the hemoglobin into a solution. The free hemoglobin is exposed to a chemical containing cyanide which binds tightly with the hemoglobin molecule to form cyanomethemoglobin.
