Low HGB

Hi Delwyn,
No wonder if you feel tired with such a low HGB as 7.4 or 8.1. Many patients need 10.0 and should be transfused so high that they have a good quality of life. In up to date clinics they have no rules for transfusions but ask the patients how they feel.

When I was transfusion dependent I discussed transfusions with the nurses - I felt OK when the HGB was above 8.0 but we are all different.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
