A member asked:
Are doctors be wrong about me not being anemic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anemia: Anemia is a condition where your hemoglobin is lower than the normal range. If you have some blood works done in the past , you can check the level of your hb. If it was within normal limit- then you don't have anemia. However, you can have false positive reading- meaning- one may be anemic but if in the same time that person is also severely dehydrated- the hb can be seen within the normal range.
