On blood work form what does H and mean?

H&H stands for Hemoglobin (Hb) and Hematocrit (Ht). Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Hematocrit is the percentage of red blood cells in the blood.

H&H blood tests are used:

- To diagnose and monitor anemia, a condition in which the blood does not have enough red blood cells

- As part of a routine physical exam

- To monitor blood loss

- To screen for certain medical conditions, such as kidney disease and diabetes

H&H blood tests are typically performed as part of a complete blood count (CBC). A CBC measures the number of different types of cells in the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
