Answer 1

This is still considered a normal hemoglobin count. The range is from 11-15 depending on the lab. It can also vary with age, weight and gender. People can go with hemoglobins lower that 10 as well. Remember, it is just a lab value and you need to look at the patient's status not just a number. Don't worry too much.

Answer 2

good
