A member asked:

I have low rbc and hematocrit levels but my hemeglobin is fine. what could this indicate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Borderline: Reference ranges for the lab are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either end. If the formed elements in the blood are normal, relax and stay well-nourished and we'll see you next year.
