How does it change in a sentence?

As a feminine noun, hemoglobina is preceded by the feminine article la when using a definite article.

/emoɡloˈbina/

While hemoglobina is the technical term, Spanish speakers discussing blood health in casual conversation often use the word hierro meaning 'iron' to describe the deficiency the protein causes.
In Spanish medical contexts, doctors often refer to a patient's 'hemoglobin levels' simply as la hemoglobina, treating the molecule as a shorthand for the measurement itself.
Because hemoglobina ends in -ina, it follows the pattern of many Spanish chemical names and suffixes that denote specific substances or components.
