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 husband s red blood count is 4.46. He is 81 years old and has congestive heart failure (but is in good shape because he has a pacemaker). We just found out that he has high blood sugar (234). His iron is good. What would be the possible cause of a low red blood count? Thank you.
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. His rbc count is slightly low only. No need to big worry. At this age it is common. He may have some normochromic normocytic anemia due to reduce rbc production. His sugar level is high. He should take treatment accordingly. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health. Don't forget to click thank you.
