A hemoglobin of 71g/L is generally considered to be moderate anemia, which requires prompt medical attention to identify the cause of the anemia, and should be treated with symptomatic therapy, medication, and general therapy.
According to the hemoglobin concentration, anemia can be classified as mild, moderate, severe, or very severe anemia, and a hemoglobin concentration of 71g/L is considered moderate anemia. Anemia is treated differently depending on the cause of the anemia, and the cause of the anemia should be clarified first before treatment.
1. If it is iron deficiency anemia, it is often treated with iron supplements, such as ferrous sulfate and ferric ammonium citrate. In addition, vitamin C taken with iron can help patients increase the absorption of iron. In case of megaloblastic anemia, folic acid or vitamin B12 should be supplemented.
2. In case of aplastic anemia, immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine and cyclophosphamide are often used, and androgens and hematopoietic growth factors can also be used to promote bone marrow hematopoiesis. For those with combined bleeding, hemostatic drugs such as phenolsulfonyl ethylamine can be used. If the blood loss continues, blood transfusion can be considered if the hemoglobin is less than 60g/L.
3. If the anemia is caused by malignant blood diseases, such as acute myeloid leukemia, it needs to be treated with drugs such as cytarabine and Zoerythromycin for etiological treatment.
In addition, patients with hemoglobin 71g/L should pay attention to nutritional balance, and consume more food rich in iron, vitamin C, vitamin B12, folic acid, such as animal liver, beef, red meat, seafood, oranges and so on. At the same time, strenuous exercise should be avoided to prevent the body’s cells from increasing oxygen demand and symptoms such as hypoxia.
There are many causes of anemia, resulting in hemoglobin below the lower limit of normal, patients should consult the doctor in time to find out the cause of the disease, and under the guidance of the doctor for standardized treatment.
