Hi, /sci/.
I am woman, and my haemoglobine is critically low (80 grams per liter) .
What are some medicines/supplements/foods that can raise its concentration?
Thanks in advance.
age ?

Actually, I'm not a woman. I'm a guy.

Please respond Mr. Scientist

Iron and exercice.
Or, you know, ask a fucking real doctor.
>>8159255
Exercising in low-oxygen environments, like mountains.
>>8159302
Low-oxygen environment pushes the organism to produces more red blood cells.
>>8159305
So basically running in a mountain and healthy nutrition helps?
Thank you, kind Anon.

Homeostasis
High partial pressure of oxygen in the air -> downregulation of haemoglobin to decrease oxygen binding and maintain stable partial pressure of oxygen in blood
Low partial pressure of oxygen in the air -> more haemoglobin is synthesized to bind more oxygen and maintain partial pressure of oxygen in blood

Iron is good, or copper if she is a horseshoe crab.

what's causing your hemoglobin deficiency? there are many things, including iron deficiency, cancer, etc. which can cause it
go see a fucking doctor

My mom has SLE lupus, but she's living with it over a 15 years. Maybe the doctors went wrong with diagnosis back then.
So neither do they know what's an issue exactly. She's trying to get an examination term, but she's been waiting over two weeks now.

also, like others said, see a doc. there are several types of anemia. could need iron, or b12, or something else.
for starters, a vegan diet is a death spiral. we do best with heme iron, and that means eating red meat. it'll also supply your b12 and protein, and anything you buy that is processed grains will have added folate.
could also be a GI bleed. does she have black and tarry poop? history of alcoholism? diet and lifestyle changes are always good, but no guarantee these will fix the problem.
Thank you all for kind responses.
Will look into the tips and arrange the doc asap.
intestinal bleeding
How did you determine her haemoglobin is low?
>>8159327
Women: 12.3-15.3 (mean 13.8) g/dL
He said 80 g/L = 8 g/dL, which is pretty low.
Inject some EPO. You can get some at your local cycling store.

I'm not defending shitty veganism, but
>for starters, a vegan diet is a death spiral. we do best with heme iron, and that means eating red meat.
Sounds like you're talking out of your fucking ass buddy.
>>8159312
if she has anemia from SLE she needs treatment of the SLE (with steroids, hydroxycholoroquine, methotrexate etc) to best help her anemia.
The only thing she can really do over the counter is iron supplements.
>>8159311
this will only work if the patient has kidney failure and a low epo because of that. OPs mom most likely has antibodies against her rbcs that are causing hemolysis, and her epo is most likely already elevated.

guess we'll have to wait a few weeks to see what the doc says

Food rich in iron and protein. Lay off fats and limit carbs. Calcium, as osteoperosis may contribute. Dark green veggies. Exercise.
pls be in LA
