Does Warfarin Affect Hemoglobin Levels ?

I had my spleen removed 2 months ago due to hemalytic anemia. I have been on Warfarin during that time due to a clot in the PIC line. My hemoglobin was going up. It reached 13.2 but as they have increased the Warfarin, the hemoglobin has gradually decreased, but is still within normal range. Now I have noted some minor breathing difficulty which could mean the hemoglobin has continued to get lower. Does Warfarin affect hemoglobin levels?

Hi,dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. but warferrin generally doesn't affect the hemoglobin level much. So don't worry about that. you may have low hb due to some other conditions. So consult your doctor and investigate that. Then take treatment accordingly.
