What Does This Haemoglobin Level From The Blood Test Result Indicate?
My wife has already scheduled an appointment with our doctor regarding blood test results and hope you can shed some light on the results before that appointment. Hemoglobin was 7.8 Critical? How critical is that and what can we do before that appointment or should we schedule an earlier appointment or go to urgent care? My wife is 66 years old with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune issues.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Her hemoglobin level is low. But not very critical. It can be due to blood loss, iron or B12 deficiency or some other cause. If her appointment is there within two to three days then it's OK. If it is after that then reschedule it earlier.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
