Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 3 year old recently had a well child visit with his pediatrician, in which his hemoglobin level was found to be 15 or slightly higher. His doctor said this was high, but could be due to diet. What is the normal range, and what could cause it to be high?
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your hemoglobin level is not high. Its normal. Normal range is 13.0 to 16.0 gm. In children no any serious causes are their for high hemoglobin. Even dehydration can leads to false high hemoglobin. So don't worry about that. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
