Hemoglobin Test & Testing Devices in Pakistan
Hemoglobin (Hb) is the iron-rich protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from your lungs to every tissue in your body and carrying carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation. A hemoglobin test or hemoglobin blood test is one of the most common and essential diagnostic tools in Pakistan, helping detect anemia, monitor chronic conditions, assess pregnancy health, screen for thalassemia, and guide treatment for low or high hemoglobin levels.
In Pakistan, where iron-deficiency anemia affects a large portion of the population—especially women, children, and pregnant mothers—regular hemoglobin testing is vital. Whether you are a patient, caregiver, doctor, lab technician, clinic owner, or hospital administrator in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, or rural areas, reliable hemoglobin testing devices and accurate lab results empower timely decisions.
At Hamza Surgical, we provide authentic, high-quality hemoglobin meters, test strips, and related diagnostic equipment for accurate point-of-care testing. Shop trusted brands like Certeza, Sinocare, and Mission Plus with nationwide delivery and guaranteed originality.
What is a Hemoglobin Blood Test?
A hemoglobin blood test measures the grams of hemoglobin per deciliter of blood (g/dL). It is usually part of a complete blood count (CBC) and helps diagnose:
- Anemia (low hemoglobin) — common due to poor diet, hookworm, heavy periods, or thalassemia trait.
- Polycythemia (high hemoglobin) — linked to dehydration, smoking, or lung/heart issues.
- Thalassemia and other hemoglobinopathies — highly relevant in Pakistan.
- Monitoring response to iron supplements, chemotherapy, or kidney disease treatment.
Doctors recommend hemoglobin testing during routine check-ups, pre-marriage screening, prenatal visits, blood donation drives, and chronic illness management. In Pakistan’s context, it forms a key part of anemia screening programs by the Ministry of National Health Services and supports thalassemia prevention.
The test is quick: a simple finger-prick for point-of-care meters or venous blood draw at labs. Results are available in minutes with modern hemoglobin meters or within hours at diagnostic centers.
Hemoglobin Normal Range (Male, Female & Children)
Normal hemoglobin levels vary by age, sex, pregnancy status, and altitude. Here is a clear reference chart based on standard medical guidelines (WHO and international references adapted for Pakistan):
Hemoglobin Normal Range Chart (g/dL)
| Age / Gender Group | Normal Range (g/dL) | Notes / Anemia Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Adult Males (18+ years) | 13.5 – 17.5 | Below 13.0 = anemia |
| Adult Females (non-pregnant) | 12.0 – 15.5 | Below 12.0 = anemia |
| Pregnant Women (1st & 3rd trimester) | 11.0 – 14.0 | Below 11.0 = anemia |
| Pregnant Women (2nd trimester) | 10.5 – 13.5 | Below 10.5 = anemia |
| Newborns (0–1 month) | 13.5 – 24.0 | High at birth, drops naturally |
| Infants (1–6 months) | 9.5 – 14.0 | Physiological nadir |
| Children (6 months – 6 years) | 11.0 – 14.0 | Below 11.0 = anemia |
| Children (6–12 years) | 11.5 – 15.5 | Varies slightly |
| Adolescents (12–18 years) | Males: 13.0 – 16.0 Females: 12.0 – 15.5 | Puberty changes |
Baby Hemoglobin Levels Chart Newborns start high (up to 24 g/dL) due to fetal hemoglobin, then naturally decline. By 2–3 months, levels stabilize around 9–14 g/dL. Regular checks are crucial for premature babies or those with feeding issues.
Hemoglobin normal range female is generally lower than males due to menstrual blood loss and pregnancy demands. Hemoglobin normal range male remains higher throughout adulthood. Always interpret results with your doctor, considering symptoms and other tests like ferritin or RBC count.
Low Hemoglobin – Symptoms, Causes & Treatment
Low hemoglobin (anemia) is widespread in Pakistan, affecting over 50% of pregnant women and many children in some regions.
Common Symptoms of Low Hemoglobin
- Persistent fatigue and weakness
- Pale skin, lips, and nails
- Shortness of breath on mild exertion
- Dizziness, headaches, or fainting
- Cold hands and feet
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat
- Craving ice or non-food items (pica)
- Poor concentration and irritability
Dangerously Low Hemoglobin Levels
- Below 8 g/dL: Severe symptoms, possible heart strain
- Below 7 g/dL: Medical emergency – chest pain, confusion, organ stress
- Below 5–6 g/dL: Life-threatening without transfusion
Main Causes in Pakistan
Iron deficiency (poor diet, vegetarianism, parasites), thalassemia trait, vitamin B12/folate deficiency, chronic infections, pregnancy demands, and heavy menstrual bleeding.
Low Hemoglobin Treatment
- Iron-rich diet: spinach (saag), lentils (daal), red meat, fortified cereals, vitamin C sources (oranges, lemons) for better absorption.
- Oral iron supplements or injections as prescribed.
- Treat underlying cause (deworming, thalassemia management).
- Blood transfusion in severe cases. Early detection through regular hemoglobin test price in Pakistan (often Rs. 300–550 at labs) prevents complications.
High Hemoglobin – Symptoms & Treatment
High hemoglobin (above normal range) thickens blood and raises clot risk.
High Hemoglobin Symptoms
- Headaches and dizziness
- Blurred vision or itching (especially after shower)
- Fatigue despite good sleep
- Ruddy complexion
- Shortness of breath
Causes include dehydration, smoking, living at high altitude, lung disease, or polycythemia vera. Treatment for high hemoglobin involves addressing the root cause—hydration, quitting smoking, phlebotomy (blood removal), or medications. Regular monitoring with a hemoglobin meter helps track trends.
Hemoglobin Electrophoresis Test
Hemoglobin electrophoresis separates different types of hemoglobin to detect variants like HbS (sickle cell), HbE, and thalassemia. In Pakistan—home to one of the world’s highest thalassemia burdens (5–8% carrier rate)—this test is essential for:
- Pre-marital and pre-natal screening
- Confirming thalassemia trait vs. iron deficiency
- Family planning and preventing thalassemia major births
Hemoglobin electrophoresis test price in Pakistan ranges from Rs. 2,000–3,650 depending on the lab (e.g., Chughtai Lab, IDC). It complements a basic hemoglobin blood test and is often paired with CBC and ferritin.
Hemoglobin Test Price in Pakistan (2026 Update)
Lab-Based Hemoglobin Test
- Basic Hb / CBC: Rs. 300–550 (many labs offer discounts)
- With iron studies/ferritin: Rs. 1,000–2,500
Hemoglobin Electrophoresis: Rs. 2,000–3,650
Point-of-Care Hemoglobin Meters & Devices (one-time investment for clinics, labs, or home use)
- Entry-level Sahli’s method: Rs. 1,250

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the normal hemoglobin level in Pakistan?
Normal ranges match international standards: 13.5–17.5 g/dL for adult males and 12.0–15.5 g/dL for non-pregnant adult females. Pregnant women should maintain above 11 g/dL. Consult your doctor for personalized interpretation.
Q2: How much does a hemoglobin test cost in Pakistan?
Basic Hb test: Rs. 300–550 at most labs. Hemoglobin electrophoresis: Rs. 2,000–3,650. Home devices start from Rs. 7,499 (meter + strips).
Q3: What are the symptoms of low hemoglobin?
Fatigue, pale skin, dizziness, shortness of breath, and rapid heartbeat. Dangerously low levels (<7 g/dL) require immediate medical attention.
Q4: Is a hemoglobin meter accurate for home or clinic use?
Yes—devices like Certeza HB-101 and Mission Plus are clinically validated and provide results comparable to lab tests when used correctly with fresh strips.
Q5: Why is hemoglobin electrophoresis important in Pakistan?
Pakistan has a high carrier rate for thalassemia (5–8%). Electrophoresis detects abnormal hemoglobin variants and helps prevent thalassemia major through screening.
