Which is the measuring unit of Hemoglobin?

  • A.Gram per deciliter (gm/dL)
  • B.Milli gram (mg)
  • C.Milli gram per deciliter (Mg/dL)
  • D.Kilogram per deciliter (kg/dL)

Answer: A

Haemoglobin is measured in grams per decilitre (g/dL).

Haemoglobin is present in large amounts, about 13 to 17 g/dL in adult men and 12 to 15 g/dL in adult women, so it is reported in grams per 100 mL of blood.

Milligrams alone is a mass, not a concentration. Milligrams per decilitre is used for substances present in far smaller amounts, such as glucose or creatinine. Kilograms per decilitre would be a thousand times too large for any blood constituent.
