A member asked:
Can i take iron tablet even though i have cirohsis due to hepc ..blood count is low
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Iron and anemia: Iron deficiency is one of many possible causes of anemia. A blood test can determine is your iron level is low and if you need supplemental iron. We do not generally recommend taking an iron supplement in men who have normal iron levels, since your body can't get rid of extra iron. A low iron level should prompt an evaluation for the cause.
