Question

67 years old woman have tried added with bone marrow last 4years has reach to 12.5 ,then go back to 10 after a few while ...can she have a chance to have a normal hemoglobin..

Answer 1

Normal hgb is about 13 or so. Has she been placed on erythropoietin? Is her iron levels satisfactory? Depending on what diseases she has, you may not want you to reach so called normal levels. For instance with end stage renal disease, you want to be between 11 and 13. Hope this helps

Answer 2

Aren't those good numbers!? I thought lower than around 7 or 8 and you wanted it to be higher but considering her age 10-12 hemoglobin is good!
