Hemoglobin Correction factor at high altitude for determining and classifying anemia | |

Anaemia, a medical disorder characterized by an inadequate number of red blood cells or haemoglobin, presents significant health risks. Nevertheless, effectively identifying anaemia in individuals living at high elevations is a difficulty. This occurs because the body naturally increases haemoglobin levels as a response to reduced oxygen availability at higher altitudes. This study examines the use of haemoglobin correction factors as a means to tackle this difficulty. The study explores the physiological changes that result in increased quantities of haemoglobin at high altitudes. It highlights the need to adjust these metrics to get a more precise assessment of an individual's red blood cell health. Healthcare professionals may ensure the use of suitable reference ranges for high-altitude populations by using known adjustment factors. This sophisticated methodology seeks to enhance the recognition and categorization of various forms of anaemia, including iron deficiency anaemia. |
