Hi, All tests are normal like thyroid, sugar,lipid profile but CBC report shows that Haemoglobin=7.4 Tlc=4.44 RBC=4.17 Mcv=34.5 Mch=17.7 Mchc=27.5 Platelets=2.61lakhs Pcv=26.9 Anemia to h. Sir what's the problem in this report and or aage kyaa test karane chahiye? Please write.

To begin with, commit yourself to lading a disciplined and healthy lifestyle so that you can recover as soon as possible. That means you have to eat a balanced diet along with vegetables and fruits (good source of iron and other nutrients ). Please avoid junk food/processed and packaged food and beverages. Please do discuss your concerns with the doctor so that there is no confusion. You can also read from the internet about anemia (and it's causes and it's treatment) and begin with the right steps. Later you can repeat the CBC to see the improvement.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. If I understand correctly Hemoglobin is only 7.4 g/ 100 ml of blood, which is showing a fairly severe anemia, mostly iron deficiency one. Get a peripheral smear done to confirm the type of anemia. This person needs iron, B12 & Folic acid supplements. Treatment should continue for at least 6 months or till Hb count comes to 14 g/100 ml. Along with it is better to find out the reason for developing ane, ia and that needs to be treated. Thanks.

Iron deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia ? a condition in which blood lacks adequate healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body's tissues. As the name implies, iron deficiency anemia is due to insufficient iron. Without enough iron, your body can't produce enough of a substance in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen (hemoglobin). As a result, iron deficiency anemia may leave you tired and short of breath. You can usually correct iron deficiency anemia with iron supplementation. Sometimes additional tests or treatments for iron deficiency anemia are necessary, especially if your doctor suspects that you're bleeding internally. When to see a doctor- Iron deficiency anemia isn't something to self-diagnose or treat. So see your doctor for a diagnosis rather than taking iron supplements on your own. Overloading the body with iron can be dangerous because excess iron accumulation can damage your liver and cause other complications.

There are multiple reasons of anemia like loss of blood in any discharge, inability of body to form new blood, life span of red blood cells is reduced, etc. So the cause needs to be diagnosed first. 1. Eat Iron-Rich Foods - Some good iron-based foods are liver, red meat, tofu, spinach, almonds, dates, lentils, fortified breakfast cereals, almonds 2. Increase Vitamin C Intake - Low hemoglobin levels due to a deficiency of vitamin C can be corrected by eating more foods rich in vitamin C. Iron cannot be fully absorbed by the body without the help of this vitamin. Eat foods rich in vitamin C like papaya, oranges, lemon, strawberries, bell peppers, broccoli, grapefruit, tomatoes and spinach. 3. Take Folic Acid - Folic acid, a B-complex vitamin, is required to make red blood cells. So, a folic acid deficiency automatically leads to a low hemoglobin level. Some good food sources of folic acid are green leafy vegetables, rice, sprouts, dried beans, wheat germ, fortified cereals, peanuts, bananas, broccoli and liver. 4. Beetroots - Beetroot is highly recommended to increase hemoglobin levels. It is high in iron, folic acid as well as fiber and potassium. Its nutritional value helps increase the body?s red blood cell count 5. Apples - An apple a day can help maintain a normal hemoglobin level. Apples are rich in iron along with various other health-friendly components that are required for a healthy hemoglobin count. For homeopathic medicine, contact us after treatment, we will go for blood test once again.
