A member asked:
I am anemic and have a hemoglobin level of 88 g/l. how serious is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Did you mean 8·8?: Normal hemoglobin is about 15 (+/- few) so around 8 is indeed very low. You need the cause of this anemia investigated and properly treated. In the meantime you may need blood transfusion
