What does Hemoglobin Free, Urine measure?

The Hemoglobin Free, Urine test is used to detect the presence of free hemoglobin in urine samples. Typically, hemoglobin remains contained within red blood cells and is absent from urine. However, during the process of red blood cell destruction (hemolysis), hemoglobin is released into the blood. When the level of hemoglobin in the blood is too high for the kidneys to filter and reabsorb, it leaks into the urine resulting in hemoglobinuria.

This test plays a crucial role in identifying various underlying health conditions. It can reveal disorders that result in excessive red blood cell destruction, including hemolytic anemia, transfusion reactions, or autoimmune diseases. Additionally, the test aids in evaluating kidney function because elevated levels of free hemoglobin in the urine may result in kidney injury. Furthermore, it serves as a useful screening test for blood disorders such as sickle cell disease or thalassemia, which are characterized by abnormal breakdown of red blood cells.
