I m a 66 year old male and my hemogloblin levels keep dropping.now at 121.Low range is 140-160 for males.in addition I have a serum lead level of 139 (range 0.0-45.0)Ferritin & iron levels are normal.white count is normal .red count is slightly low.Because of lead (presently doing oral chelation with EDTA to remove lead) I wonder if bone marrow is not producing enough red cells and if they are being destroyed before the 120 day expirary. How best to slow down hemogloblin loss?
Hello, THX to contact us. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I advise you that your low hemoglobin level is because of presence of lead in your blood. Once lead is removed your hemoglobin level comes to normal. Lead interrupts in hemoglobin formation. EDTA is cheating agent and can remove the lead, it is good treatment for it. I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me, Wish you a very good health at Chat Doctor. Chat Doctor. Infectious Disease.
