Hello My friend has received very low lab results and is very concerned of what it might be.Her Hemoglobin is 9.7, Her Iron is 17 and her Iron%Saturat is 5 She has felt achy for weeks and runs a fever on and off. She feels very week too. Her son ended up getting a transfusion for a bleed and low iron and she was told his problem is caused by her The doctor she saw said she is anemic and she is worried it may be more.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Nutritional Anemia is the presentation here. It is not too worried about. She is weak, achy because of anemia.2. The lab tests are also showing severe iron deficiency. She needs to take diet rich in iron like fish, eggs, green leafy vegetables, pulses, legumes etc.3. Yes, the problem with her son could have been caused by her - the possible reason, both are malnourished and diet is not nutritional. They need to concentrate on diet. Improvement through diet and iron supplements will improve anemia. Overall improvement can be seen within a month. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
