A member asked:
Is a hemoglobin level of 10.9 dangerous? my doctor said she would not clear me for weight loss surgery until i see a hematologist. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anemia: Hi It isn't dangerous in the sense that it's life threatening. Commonly in young women anemia is due to iron deficiency from blood loss from menstruation. It's very easy to diagnose and treat but there are many other causes for anemia as well. Because there is risk for blood loss during any surgery, it is best to have your levels in the normal range before going to surgery. Hope this helps
