A member asked:
How long does it take to receive 6 bags/units blood & 1 bag/unit of iron, due to a blood count of 4.2 that's female?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LOOK FOR THE SOURCE: Anemia is common in female but not that low blood transfusion and iron will help bring the count up but your doctor has to make an effort to look for the source of your anemia it is not normal to go that low without a reason.
