A member asked:
My daughter 15 was recently diagnosed with anemia. her haemoglobin levels are 6 what does this mean and is this normal?

The type of anemia should be determined. Her Hb level is quite low and please confirm that she doesn't require a hospital stay with your physician. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and bleeding.

The level is consistent with a significant anemia and important that a pediatric hematologist get involved ASAP. Diagnosis and treatment are imperative
