Lowe iron level on ly 5 year old?

Question too vague: Pediatrician can evaluate. People who don't eat enough iron-containing foods, such as women who don't eat red meat, can have low iron and be anemic. The screening tests for iron deficiency are simple blood tests. If a person has low iron, the doctor will usually check to see if he is losing blood in the stool (as a screening test for colon cancer), as well as look for other reasons for low iron.
