A normal Hb level, or hemoglobin level, varies depending on whether you are male or female.
- For males, a normal Hb level is 14 to 18 g/dl.
- For females, a normal Hb level is 12 to 16 g/dl.
Hb levels are measured in grams per deciliter (g/dl). If your Hb level is low, you may have anemia. Anemia is a condition where your blood doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to your body's tissues.
Note: The normal range for Hb levels may vary slightly depending on the laboratory and the specific test used.
