To calculate the H Factor:
\[ \text{H Factor} = \frac{\text{Hemoglobin}}{\text{Haptoglobin}} \]
Where:
The H Factor is a calculated value used in medical diagnostics to assess the extent of hemolysis, which is the breakdown of red blood cells. It is determined by the ratio of hemoglobin to haptoglobin in the blood. A low H Factor can indicate increased hemolysis, as haptoglobin binds to free hemoglobin released during red blood cell destruction.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{H Factor} = \frac{140}{70} = 2.00 \]
The H Factor is 2.00.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{H Factor} = \frac{120}{60} = 2.00 \]
The H Factor is 2.00.
