Question

Normal haemoglobin level in adult male is

• A. \8-10\
• B. \10-12\
• C. \13-17\
• D. \18-22\

Hint:

Normal haemoglobin level in adult males is approximately \13-17\ g/dL, while lower values may indicate anaemia.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Haemoglobin is the iron-containing protein present in red blood cells. It carries oxygen from lungs to tissues and also helps in carrying carbon dioxide from tissues to lungs.

Step 1: Understanding normal haemoglobin value.
Normal haemoglobin level varies according to age, sex, physiological condition, and health status.

Step 2: Adult male range.
In adult males, the normal haemoglobin level is generally around \13\ to \17\ g/dL.

Step 3: Checking the options.
\8-10\ g/dL is low and indicates anaemia.
\10-12\ g/dL is also below the normal adult male range.
\13-17\ g/dL is the normal adult male range.
\18-22\ g/dL is higher than the usual normal range.

Step 4: Final answer.
Therefore, the normal haemoglobin level in adult male is \13-17\ g/dL. \[ \boxed{13-17\ \text{g/dL}} \]
