The normal ranges for hemoglobin depend on the age and, beginning in adolescence, the gender of the person. The normal ranges are: Newborns: 17 to 22 gm/dL One (1) week of age: 15 to 20 gm/dL One (1) month of age: 11 to 15 gm/dL Children: 11 to 13 gm/dL Adult males: 14 to 18 gm/dL Adult women: 12 to 16 gm/dL Men after middle age: 12.4 to 14.9 gm/dL Women after middle age: 11.7 to 13.8 gm/dLAll of these values may vary slightly between laboratories. Some laboratories do not differentiate between adult and" after middle age" hemoglobin values. Pregnant females are advised to avoid both high and low hemoglobin levels to avoid increasing risks of stillbirths (high hemoglobin ? above the normal range) and premature birth or low-birth-weight baby (low hemoglobin ? below the normal range).
