A member asked:
I just got my lab results back and my hemoglobin was 8.8. is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anemia: Your hemoglobin is low and therefore you have anemia. Other important things to know : MCV. MCV tells us the size of your red cells. Anemia can be due to a lack of certain things in our diet such as B12 , folate (folic acid) or iron. Your level of anemia may cause symptoms. Other common causes include bleeding. People sometimes have blood loss via the GI or urinary tract and don't know it. See your Dr.
