test because I was feeling extremely tired and weak for past 2-3 weeks. I wasn’t sure what is it, so I decided to see a doctor. He ordered blood test and here are the results. I have a low hemoglobin level, a low red blood cell count and a low hematocrit. What does it mean?
A low hemoglobin level is referred to as anemia or low red blood count. A lower-than-normal number of red blood cells is referred to as anemia and hemoglobin levels reflect this number. There are many reasons (causes) for anemia. What causes low hemoglobin levels? Some of the more common...
Platelets are a component of the complete blood count (CBC) which also contains information on red blood cells and white blood cells. If thrombocytopenia is seen for the first time, it is prudent to repeat the complete blood count to exclude pseudo thrombocytopenia (see above). If the repeat...
Red blood cells, also called erythrocytes, contain a protein called hemoglobin. This remarkable molecule acts like a magnet for oxygen, picking it up in our lungs and releasing it to tissues and organs throughout our body. Without this constant supply of oxygen, our cells wouldn’t be able t...
Low RBC or red blood cell count can be acute or chronic. And mild ones can be treated with proper lifestyle changes, but if it's severe, you have to...

Purpose: We investigated the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components and erythrocyte parameters such as red blood cell count (RBC) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels, and their association with the risk of deep myometrial invasion in endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC). Patien...
Why might blood platelet count be low? What causes enlarged spleen and low platelets? Why might platelets decrease in the human body? Why do platelets decrease in the human body? What causes low red blood cell count and hemoglobin? What causes blood platelets to stick together?
What level of hemoglobin is dangerously low? Hemoglobin (Hb or Hgb) is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. A low hemoglobin count is generally defined as less than 13.5 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter (135 grams per liter) of blood for men andless than...
Birthweight, gestational age at complete blood count collection, gestational age at delivery, mode of delivery, etc. were recorded. The main indices as NLR, PLR, MPV, PDW, and RDW among the groups were compared, as well as some secondary outcomes including neutrophil, platelets, and hemoglobin...
