A member asked:
A cbc showed my haemoglobin had decreased by .6 (13.6 to 13) in just one week. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say.: This is not strictly normal, but it may just be lab variation coupled with your own variation. Given your history this bears watching. There are a lot of other pieces of data that would be helpful... Reticulocyte response to iron, mcv, etc.
