William Aird: When Deciding whether an Adult Patient is Anemic, Which Do You Usually Use?
William Aird, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, shared a post on X:
“When deciding whether an adult patient is anemic, which do you usually use?
Why I ask:
At my institution, the male ‘normal’ hemoglobin range starts at 13.7 g/dL.
So a man with Hb 13.5 is flagged red – and may understandably worry.
But WHO defines anemia in adult men as Hb low than 13.0 g/dL.”
