Accepted Answer

Hemoglobin: 11.2 the amount of hemoglobin your blood contains and usually represents a hematocrit of 33.6, which is low.  If one is dehydrated, the blood is concentrated and the true amount of hemoglobin can be even lower.  Ask your health care provider about treatment for anemia.

Usually hemoglobin is accompanied by a hematocrit which is usually about 3 times the hemoglobin which would be about 42 in your case. A third portion of the red blood count is the total red blood cell count which is about 4.7 to 6.1 million for a male.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Anemia: This is a tough question given the lack of data. Which blood cells are low? What are your iron levels? Do you have any chronic illness? Do you have GI bleeding?  I would bet your physician has done testing for this and is giving you the best advice for your situation. It is hard to be specific here given the lack of medical information.

Question 5

what can get your blood count up dr?

Accepted Answer

Iron might help: If you mean hemoglobin then it depends on the cause - why is it low? Blood loss, blood destruction and decreased blood cell production are the three causes of low hemoglobin. Talk to your doctor about what the cause is for you.  Taking iron supplements helps if the cause is blood loss such as from gastritis or GI bleeding.
