Question : under Anemias and Iron overload I have a reading of H 876- what does that mean

Answered by Dr. Dr.Albana Sejdini Greca (9 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Need to have the full blood test report...

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX,

You are reporting to be under Anemias and iron overload with a H reading of 876. Can you send the full report of your blood test, so I can analyze it myself before giving a final conclusion?

Sometimes, medical terms can be confounding for patients, while doctors find them easy to understand. So, I need to analyze myself if the parameter you are describing is referring hemoglobin? or any other parameter?

Thank you!

Brief Answer:
If 876 was the level of vit.B12,it is within normal range...

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

If it was under "vitamin b12", and if the reading was 876, then, it is within normal range. The highest range for vit.B12 is up to 900, depending on the reference range of the lab where you did the testing. However, I still need to have the full report for further evaluations!

Let me know if I can be of further help!
