Is Low Hematocrit And RBC Levels A Matter Of Concern?
Yes I have been told that my rbc is low as is my hemotrocrit which may indicate anemia. I also was told that trace blood was found in my urine. I presented with no symptoms and now have been referred to a hematologist. I am a 55 year old healthy female. Should I be concerned about the referral?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Your hemoglobin is on the lower side. So your hematocrit and RBC count will be low.
2. MCV and MCH will indicate the type of anemia.
3. Reference is put to improve and evaluate hemoglobin status.
4. Nutritional improvement is necessary.
Its a routine referral. Nothing to worry.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
