A member asked:
Slightly low hemoglobin and platelets following surgery that caused atelectasis. no history of anemia. can atelectasis cause these results or no?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It would have been helpful to have the actual results of your hemoglobin and platelet count. Slightly low may not be worrisome.
