A member asked:

Sex: f, age: 2 yrs, hb electrophoresis report: hb a 0.5%, hb f 66.6%, hb e 30.3%, hb e2 2.6%. how much she is in danger? her hemoglobin is 9.2.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hemoglobin EE: This is good news. Junior seems able to make plenty of Hemoglobin F and from my reading this is good news. Very glad a savvy physician started her on folic acid; a trial of Hydroxyurea is the only way to know if this will be helpful. She may have trouble keeping up in endurance sports but with a savvy parent like yourself, she should have a nice, happy, basically healthy life.
