Severe anemia,if Hb is less than 5%,you need immediate blood transfusion ,even before the procedures under emergency ICCU.The procedures are to evaluate and find out the cause.If the cause is found,the relevant appropriate management may be done to cure you from the disease.

hello,
Thanks for posting to HCM, A complete blood count (CBC), to look at the shape, color, number, and size of your blood cells.
A ferritin level test, which reflects how much iron may be stored in the body.
