A member asked:

Does mild anemia cause alot of hair loss and pale face. hemo 12.6 ferritin 8.5?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Shared cause: Rather than anemia causing hair loss, it is more likely that whatever is causing anemia is also causing hair loss. It would be prudent to discuss it with your doctor who knows more about your health.
