My husband has had a liver transplant, 14 years ago, caused by hemochromatosis. He has just been diagnosed with a blood count of 71 (haemoglobin). This seems to be the exact opposites - too much iron in the blood (hemochromatosis) & low iron (haemoglobin. What could be the reason & what can be done?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your husband had liver transplantation due to hemochromatosis. Now he has low hemoglobin. He should go for anemia profile, stool occult blood test, ultrasound abdomen. He may have some bleeding or anemia due to b12 deficiency or some other reason. So please go for investigation and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
