A member asked:
I am on actermra for scleritis and have 10 for my hemoglobin level, is that too low to do next infusion and when too low and need transfusion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemoglobin level: Most centers will not transfuse a stable non bleeding patient with a hemoglobin over 7. Speak with your doctor if you are having symptoms due to anemia. I know Acterma can cause decreased platelets and WBC but I did not know it caused anemia too. Speak with your doctor.
