Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I underwent a blood test today and found that my iron level is 47 mcg/dL, and my mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is 35.3 g/dL. Please help.

Answered by Dr. Harshitha. G

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) suggest iron deficiency anemia, which can be treated with iron tablets or iron syrup.

The Probable causes

The probable cause is iron deficiency anemia.

Investigations to be done

I suggest you get your hemoglobin levels checked.

Probable diagnosis

The probable diagnosis is iron deficiency anemia.

Treatment plan

I suggest you take the tablet Orofer Xt (Ferrous Ascorbate and Folic Acid) and the tablet Neurobion Forte (Multivitamins) in the morning and at night after food for 30 days (consult a specialist doctor, talk with him or her and take medications with their consent).

Preventive measures

Eat green vegetables like beetroot, spinach, apples, and egg white.

Regarding follow up

Get a complete blood count test done to check the hemoglobin levels.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
