Normal Hemoglobin Levels for Children

            Age Group Normal                         Hemoglobin Level

• ·    Birth  week:                = 17.5 g/dL (-2SD: 13.5 g/dL)
• ·    2 weeks:                    =16.5 g/dL (-2SD: 12.5 g/dL)
• ·   1 month:                     = 14.0 g/dL (-2SD: 10.0 g/dL)
• ·   2 months:                   =11.5 g/dL (-2SD: 9.0 g/dL)
• ·         3-6 months:               = 11.5 g/dL (-2SD: 9.5 g/dL)
• ·         0.5-2 years:                = 12.0 g/dL (-2SD: 11.0 g/dL)
• ·         2-6 years:                   = 12.5 g/dL (-2SD: 11.5 g/dL)
• ·         6-12 years:                 =  13.5 g/dL (-2SD: 11.5 g/dL)
• ·         12-18 years female:    =  14.0 g/dL (-2SD: 12.0 g/dL)
•           12-18 years male:       = 14.5 g/dL (-2SD: 13.0 g/dL)

The reference ranges for Hemoglobin concentration in adults are as follows

• ·         Men: 14.0-17.5 ( 15.7) g/dL
• ·         Women: 12.3-15.3 ( 13.8) g/dL

Hemoglobin values below these levels may indicate Anemia.
