Suggest Treatment For Low RBC Levels In Blood

default
Posted on Tue, 8 Nov 2016
Question: My doctor is on vacation, I have below normal low RBC, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. MY iron level and ferritin levels are okay. Another factor- showing absorption (I think) was low. Any idea what tests or treatments would come next? I am generally healthy, but do have IBS, I am 64 years old. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
please upload the reports

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

approaching anemia (low hematocrit) is not that simple sometimes. Having the reports would help me to narrow down the list of potential diagnoses and propose a strategy for investigation. So please upload all the reports.

Kind Regards!
