A member asked:
Is it possible to have anemia without having abnormal cbc? also can low vitamin d cause it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not possible: Anemia is diagnosed by low blood hemoglobin or hematocrit on cbc. Can be due to low red blood cell count or low serum iron. Low vitamin d can be corrected by taking vitamin d 1000 u tablets & or fish liver oils capsules.
