A member asked:

Should i be concerned of a hemoglobin 17? i'm a 36 yr old female, i work out about 5 days a week, have gained 25lbs since last october, thyroids fine

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Hemoglobin of 17 is higher than normal, especially for a female, It would be prudent to do the test again after proper hydration and if it is still this high, it would be time to see a hematologist.
