A member asked:

For 57+ f, for last 3-years, changes in hb 12.1 -> 11.7 -> 10.7, pcv 37 -> 36 -> 33 & rbc 4.2 -> 4 -> 3.6. what does this indicate ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anemia: All of these results are the same, your hemoglobin has been dropping and since you are not menstruating any more you may be losing blood elsewhere and should see a doctor for an evaluation. Other causes can be poor nutrition, hookworm infestation and hemolytic anemia.
