A member asked:
Do i have cancer since my recent hemoglobin is 13.1 (otherwise am a healthy adult)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds okay: Depending on your gender and your lab, that may be reference range hemoglobin or just-below-reference-range. These ranges are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside. If you feel well and are not losing blood into your gut, I wouldn't be concerned and suggest just keeping an eye on it.
