Patient's question:
October girl's blood test results show hemoglobin 93 grams, which is low. Platelets are 443, which is high. Red blood cells and white blood cells are normal. How can anemia be improved? What treatment is used?Doctor's answer:
Hemoglobin below 70 means you can receive a blood transfusion. Your platelet count is also a bit low (normal range is 100-300), and you don’t have any symptoms. It’s likely chronic anemia, which you’ve probably adapted to. If you are a woman, it’s mostly likely due to excessive menstrual bleeding causing chronic anemia. If you are a man, common causes include upper gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhoids, or hookworm disease (you can check your stool for eggs). Rest more and maintain a light yet nutritious diet in daily life.
