When will hemoglobin level normalize after taking blood transfusion?
Patient: I had a GI hemorrhage and I was in ICU for 5 days Then I was in the hostipal for another 3 days . Iwas given 3 units of blood & 3 units of iron in my IV. I went to get blood drawn the other day & my hemoglobin level is 10.1. . While in the hostipal tests reveal I have ulcers, diverticulosis & diverticulitis &hemmoriods. How long will it take for my hemoglobin level to come back up to normal? Doctor: Hello, Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I advice you that since you have ulcers, diverticulitis & hemorrhoids all of which are bleeding condition in your intestines it is necessary for you to take treatment till you get all this corrected. your hemoglobin is good right now so at this moment you can start with the oral iron therapy.I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
