Level of aneamia before blood transfusion?

MerryA · 03-25-2007, 12:21 PM

Hi

Does anyone know what level they would recommend a blood transfusion these days for aneamia. I have just had my operation cancelled due to my iron definency and have been told to take an iron supplement. My count is 7.9 now but they told me that they used to give blood transfussions for levels under 8.

Also, has anyone got any food advice that could give me an extra boost?

Thanks

Green leafy veggies like spinach are good; obviously your red meats will have some as well.
