Hemoglobin 117g/L means the concentration of hemoglobin is 117g/L. For adult men, hemoglobin 117g/L is a mild anemia because the normal range of hemoglobin for adult men is 120-160g/L, so hemoglobin 117g/L is mild anemia. However, for adult women, hemoglobin 117g/L is normal because the normal range of hemoglobin for adult women is 110-150g/L, so hemoglobin 117g/L is normal. In addition, for pregnant women, hemoglobin 117g/L is also normal because hemoglobin greater than 100g/L is the normal range for pregnant women. So whether hemoglobin 117g/L is anemic or not needs to be decided according to the patient’s gender and different states.
