A member asked:
Would the body take blood from the marrow if the hemoglobin dropped dangerously low? 2.7. if so , what are the symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The marrow is where the blood cells are produced and thus the circulation mostly gets the cells from the marrow. I think a hemoglobin of 2.7 is life-threatening and I would be surprised if you are not already very tired, short of breath, or fainting. A transfusion is likely needed but more importantly finding out the cause for the low hgb.
