A member asked:
What do you suggest if my wife had a cbc test and dr. had her take an upper and lower gi. test came back ok.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CBC repeat: Based on the information provided, your physician may have been concerned that there was a GI source of bleeding leading to the diagnosis of anemia. If anemia was the concern, I would advise checking the smear and looking for other causes as well.
