“Hemoglobin levels?”
My hemoglobin was at 7.5. I have had 5 iron infusions. Will that be enough to bring it up to 11?

Five transfusions should be enough but you need to check the hemoglobin and take more if necessary. The other question is why your hemoglobin is so low. If you have heavy periods talk to your gynecologist, otherwise to your primary care.
This depends entirely on whether the cause of your anemia is entirely related to iron deficiency and whether or not you are continuing to lose blood/iron.
I will no longer be checking this email at the end of June when I leave my position at CNE. For urgent issues please contact the staff at the Affinity Hematology/Oncology Office in Pawtucket. They will have my contact information.
If you don't have iron deficiencies iron therapy at best may increase The most common cause of iron deficiency is a cult bleeding. This is the most common cause of Iron deficiency. iron decor mct anemia may be the first sign in gastrointestinal cancer in men and occult uterine bleeding in women.
