How to determine normal hemoglobin value in children

When children are growing up, families need to take their children for regular checkups so that they can understand their specific development and whether they have reached normal indicators. This way, they can pay more attention to their future lives. Especially for children with anemia, they must not be careless and must be aware of the importance of iron supplementation. So how to determine the normal value of hemoglobin in children?

Hemoglobin levels vary according to the child's age. Newborns have hemoglobin levels of 170 to 230 g/L, which gradually decreases with age. The normal hemoglobin level for children is between 110 g and 160 g/L. Infants from 3 months old to children under 15 years old have a relative shortage of hematopoietic raw materials due to their rapid growth and development, and their red blood cells and hemoglobin may be 10% to 20% lower than normal people. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the increase in blood volume in pregnant women causes blood dilution, and in the elderly, the bone marrow hematopoietic function gradually decreases, both of which can lead to a decrease in red blood cell and hemoglobin content.

There are many reasons for high hemoglobin, which can be roughly divided into physiological increase and pathological increase. Physiological increase is common in plateau residents, fetuses and newborns, strenuous exercise, heavy sweating, fear, etc.; pathological increase is common in large-area burns, severe diarrhea, chronic adrenal insufficiency, diabetes insipidus, hyperthyroidism, cardiopulmonary disease, vascular malformations and other diseases. If your hemoglobin is high, you can take some Chinese medicine to regulate your body, exercise more, and eat healthily.

Anemia caused by decreased red blood cell production, anemia caused by excessive destruction of red blood cells due to inherited defects in red blood cell membranes and enzymes or external factors, such as hereditary spherocytosis, thalassemia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, abnormal hemoglobinopathies, immune hemolytic anemia, major surgery with extracorporeal cardiac circulation, and hemolytic anemia caused by some chemical and biological factors.

If the child's hemoglobin is just a little low, dietary supplements can be used. If it is lower than 100g/L, it is recommended to take the nutritional iron supplement Tiezhiyuan Tablets. This will help the child replenish iron and blood, increase nutrition, improve the hematopoietic ability of hemoglobin, and correct iron deficiency anemia. In addition, give your children more iron-rich foods such as pig blood, pig liver, and lean meat.

I believe everyone has a clear idea of ​​how to determine the normal hemoglobin value for children. In daily life, whether it is diet, sleep or even exercise, all aspects of life need to be taken seriously. Children need to have a good living environment and supplement enough nutrition to ensure health so that they can develop and grow better.
