Is 11.3 considered low hemoglobin?

Q: is 11.3 considered low hemoglobin?

Age dependent: Usually a hemoglobin of &lt;12 is too low to donate blood -- so would be considered low. However, it is usually balanced with the hematocrit and also based on other findings. However, i would consider this to be too low for a 40 year old woman.
