<human>: hi, I recently went to donate blood, I however failed the finger prick test. They took a sample of my blood to test for anaemia, it came back as not the case. But my irons levels were low, and my haemoglobin level was 116g/l. They strongly recommended that I see my GP. I have since looked up my level and such a high reading suggests I have lung disease, something wrong with my bone marrow or a sign of a tumour, is this right?
<bot>: Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:1. Low iron levels with high hemoglobin levels, could indicate early stages of iron deficiency anemia, where all iron is being used up.2. 11.6g/dl is not high. It is well below the normal range. High is if it is above 18g/DL or 180g/l.3. You need iron supplements along with iron rich diet.4. Other than iron deficiency, there is nothing wrong in bone marrow, and you do not have any tumor. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
