I had blood test which shows low iron levels. Is this anemia?
If the blood test shows that the iron levels are within range, even in the normal higher area.....Does that rule out anemia?
Im not anemic but my iron level wont go above 10.5 which iant high enough to give blood which I would like to do any suggeations?
Is it normal for your iron level to drop from 76 (march2020) to 18(august2020)? Also blood cells drop drastically showing it now anemic.
If I'm anemic can I still donate blood if I don't take iron pills and if I'm on kidney medication?
