What Do The Following Lab Test Results Indicate?
Question: I am feeling very fatigued. Below is a synopsis of my recent test results. I am curious what I can do to feel better. My physician has ordered a colonoscopy for a date later this month. I appreciate the effort to learn the source of anemia, but I am having a hard time functioning. Any suggestions for treatment in the interim? As I previously mentioned, I had a heart XXXXXXX last week and the results were unremarkable.

Brief Answer:
Occult blood loss needs evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Obviously, the symptom is from anaemia
The anaemia is due to Iron deficiency
At this age, the commonest cause of iron deficiency is bleeding…
The source here is slow, small and occult (not obvious) – in such cases, the usual source is the Gastro Intestinal Tract (GIT) … ulcer in stomach, polyp in colon etc… and malignancy needs to be evaluated…
A battery of investigations may be required – endoscopy is the first / more may be needed depending on the outcome of the investigations already done…
If there are no clues in GIT, a haematologist will investigate further…
You appear to be in good hands… keep following up
Good luck
God bless you
