Hemoglobin and Hematocrit (H&H) Panel
The two core red-blood-cell measures used to screen for anemia and how well your blood carries oxygen.
Consider this test if:
- Unexplained fatigue, weakness, breathlessness, or dizziness
- Heavy periods, recent blood loss, or a low-iron diet
- Tracking recovery of anemia after iron or B12 treatment
- Endurance training and watching oxygen-carrying capacity
- Establishing a simple red-blood-cell baseline
- HSA/FSA eligible
- Results delivered to your dashboard · Reviewed by a real clinician
- Drawn at a CLIA/CAP-accredited lab near you ·
Pre-test considerations
No fasting required. Hydration status affects the result: dehydration concentrates the blood and raises hematocrit, while overhydration can lower it. A consistent time of day helps when comparing results over time.

What this test is for
Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells, and hematocrit is the percentage of blood volume made up of those cells. Together they are the standard first check for anemia, which often shows up as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, pale skin, dizziness, or poor exercise tolerance. Low values point toward anemia from iron, B12, or folate deficiency, blood loss, or chronic disease; high values can reflect dehydration, smoking, or overproduction of red cells. This pairing measures hemoglobin and hematocrit only, so when results are abnormal, ferritin and iron studies or a full blood count with red-cell indices are the usual next step to find the cause.
Biomarkers tested
Includes 2 biomarkers
Hematocrit measures the percentage of your blood volume made up of red blood cells, the cells that carry oxygen from your lungs to every tissue. Low hematocrit points to anemia and pairs with fatigue, breathlessness, dizziness, or poor exercise tolerance, while high hematocrit can reflect dehydration, high altitude, smoking, or overactive red cell production, and thickens blood in ways that matter for cardiovascular risk. It's a core piece of the complete blood count, useful as a baseline read on oxygen-carrying capacity and for tracking how iron status, training, or altitude exposure are shifting your blood over time.

Frequently asked questions
View all FAQsHow does pricing work?
Every test shows the member price next to the standard non-member price, so you can see what membership saves you. The member price is our cost, covering the lab and what it takes to run the service. It is never a profit on the test itself. Mito makes its money on the $9 membership, not on marking up your tests. Membership is $9 per month, and any applicable lab order or draw fee is itemized before you pay.
Where do I get tested?
Choose an available partner lab at checkout. If your cart contains multiple blood tests, Mito helps consolidate the eligible tests at one lab when possible. At-home kits and scans follow the collection or appointment process shown on their product page.
Is this eligible for HSA/FSA?
Yes. Eligible tests can be paid for with an HSA or FSA card at checkout.
When will I get my results?
Your results appear in your Mito dashboard after the laboratory completes processing. A clinician then reviews them before your analysis and personalized action plan are finalized. Timing varies by test, and specialty assays and at-home kits may take longer.
Do I need a physician's order?
No. Mito provides the laboratory order when one is required, so you do not need to arrange a separate physician visit before purchasing.
