A member asked:

5 yo cbc has mild low hgb/rbc, reticulocyte 9.12, hgb a1 89.8, hgb f 7.4. hematologist reviewed. said not urgent. what could it be? i'm so worried!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do not worry: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, the child may have hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin, which is a harmless condition.
