Could thalassimia cause rbc count low in numbers and small in size. my rbc is normal 4.8 and hemo 123 why did dr say rbc is low it is in range at 4.8?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RBC count not import: Just watch your hemoglobin. Most folks with Thalasemmia run a low hemoglobin (9-11 Grams)which can not be corrected.
