Suggest Measures To Increase Hb Levles

My hemoglobin is 8.7 g/dl but I am not losing blood except when urinating which is caused by have two JJ stents in kidney to bladder. I do not feel tried and do not nap during the. I need to get this level up top at least 10 or 11 to have a revision of hip. Is there something that I can do to help build my blood back up?

Hi
Thanks for your query.
I would suggest that you do the following investigations to determine the cause of anemia: Serum Iron, TIBC, Ferrtin, B12 and folate. I would also recommend urinalysis, USG Abdomen.
Once we have the results we will be able to determine the cause and prescribe you appropriate medications.
Hope this helps
