What to do with hyperhemoglobinemia

In clinical practice, the normality of hemoglobin content is used as an indicator to determine the disease. According to research, there are many reasons for increased hemoglobin. Generally speaking, there are two common factors: pathological and physiological. Physiological increase does not require treatment, while pathological increase requires cause analysis and symptomatic treatment.

Hyperhemoglobinemia

Physiological increase is common in fetuses and newborns, strenuous exercise, heavy sweating, fear, etc.; pathological increase is common in large-area burns, severe diarrhea, chronic adrenal insufficiency, diabetes insipidus, hyperthyroidism, heart and lung diseases, vascular malformations and other diseases.

If the blood sugar level is greater than 160g/L, it means that the hemoglobin is increased. Your hemoglobin test result is 162g/L, which is at the upper limit of normal. The most likely cause is blood concentration, which causes a relative increase in red blood cells and hemoglobin.

Common causes of increased red blood cells and hemoglobin:

1. Relative increase: Due to certain reasons, water in plasma is lost, the blood is concentrated, and the content of red blood cells and hemoglobin increases relatively. Such as drinking less water, sweating a lot, etc.

2. Physiological increase: such as strenuous labor, fear, cold water bath, plateau residents, etc.

3. Pathological increase: congenital heart disease, obstructive pulmonary emphysema, cor pulmonale, pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, and abnormal hemoglobin disease with low oxygen-carrying capacity, etc.
