A member asked:

Should i be concerned if my hemoglobin is 7.1?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, very much!: Hemoglobin on 7.1 is way lower than normal. You should consult your doctor as soon as possible to be tested for blood loss, poor blood formation, nutritional deficiency and similar disorders.
