ROLE OF HEMOGLOBIN AND ITS IMPACT ON HUMAN HEALTH-A NARRATIVE REVIEW

Background: Hemoglobin is a crucial protein in red blood cells, central to oxygen transport and delivery to tissues across the body. Variations in hemoglobin levels can significantly impact the function and health of various organs and systems. Both high and low hemoglobin levels are linked to a spectrum of physiological changes and are associated with various health outcomes. Understanding these effects is essential for advancing patient care and improving health outcomes through targeted management strategies. Objective: This review aims to explore the impact of hemoglobin levels on the function of various human organs and body systems. Findings: The review details how hemoglobin levels influence organ function through diverse physiological mechanisms. Abnormal hemoglobin levels are associated with cardiovascular diseases, respiratory and renal disorders, neurological impairments, gastrointestinal issues, metabolic conditions, and genetic diseases. By examining the intricate pathways through which hemoglobin affects organ health, this review supports the development of strategies for early detection, prevention, and management of hemoglobin-related health issues, thereby enhancing patient care. Conclusion: This review emphasizes the importance of hemoglobin levels as a key determinant of organ function and health across different stages of life.
