Frequently Asked Questions
What is a normal haemoglobin level?
Normal haemoglobin is 12-16 g/dL for women and 14-18 g/dL for men. Below 11 g/dL is considered anemia. At R.K. Hospital, CBC with haemoglobin test is available with same-day results.
How long does it take to recover from anemia?
With proper iron supplementation, haemoglobin typically improves by 1-2 g/dL per month. Full recovery takes 3-6 months as the body needs to replenish iron stores. IV iron gives faster results in severe cases.
What foods increase haemoglobin?
Iron-rich foods include green leafy vegetables (spinach, palak), jaggery (gur), dates, beetroot, pomegranate, lentils (dal), eggs, and red meat. Vitamin C (lemon, amla) improves iron absorption.
Does R.K. Hospital provide blood transfusion for severe anemia?
Yes, R.K. Hospital has blood bank access and provides packed red blood cell transfusion for severe anemia (haemoglobin below 7 g/dL or symptomatic). IV iron infusion is also available. Call 0755-4260605.
