A member asked:
My mom is 95 her blood count is 24 do she need a blood transfusion ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Blood transfusion is not a do it yourself issue. The need for transfusion is determined by clinical picture and is not driven by numbers alone. If you mother does not have symptoms of anoxia, hematocrit of 24 is quite adequate.
