Hemoglobin transports oxygen and is primarily found in red blood cells, supplying oxygen to all organs and tissues of the body. The normal hemoglobin level for adult males is ≥120 g/L. A level below this threshold suggests anemia, which may lead to chronic tissue hypoxia and ischemia. It is recommended that you consult a hematologist at a hospital for evaluation and guidance on appropriate pharmacological treatment to correct the anemia. Regular follow-up testing is advised, and dietary improvements—including increased nutritional intake—are also beneficial.
