Low hgb and appetite loss
Quote:

In the meanwhile, is there any specific diet I should put my dad on? It seems as if he is losing his appetite. Is there any correlation between loss of appetite and low hgb?

Hi, June.
I don't know if there is a scientific correlation between low hgb and loss of appetite, but given that low hgb makes a person feel poorly, it's not surprising to me that your dad would not feel very hungry. If he can get a little bit of excerise and be offered his favorite foods, he should consume what he needs. I'm not aware of any specific diet recommendations for MDS, but it would be a good question to ask the doctor.
Regards,
Ruth
