Yesterday, I got my CBC from a lab test for employment and was shocked to find out that in my medical certificate indicated that i was anemic. I did see my CBC and my HGB was at 136 g/L. Their Ref values M: 140 to 170 g/L. The doctor there prescribed me ferrous sulfate 1x day for a month and recommend me to come back for another cbc a week after. Question is, by searching the net, it indicated that i was in the normal range since they say that
Male Age >18 years: 13.6 to 17.7 g/dl (mean 15.5 g/dl)
So i was wondering if I am really anemic?
