A member asked:
What can cause hemoglobin & hematacrit to be low in children?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low H/H: The most common reason for anemia in children is iron deficiency. The first step in resolving iron deficiency anemia in children is by increasing intake through iron rich foods, such as meat, poultry and fish. If this doesn't help, an iron supplement may be needed. Your doctor can help you with this.
