A member asked:
Would the patient benefit from the blood if received blood with low iron level ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inconsistent: Blood banks monitor the hemoglobin level of donor blood and would not collect blood from a potential donor with low hemoglobin. So the patient did not receive blood with low iron. However, if the patient is anemic due to iron deficiency s/he should take after consultation with the doctor.
