[|Human|] I am a 67 year old male with hemochromatosis (20 years) in good health. Have phlebotomy every 2 months. Most recent was today. Advised that my hemoglobin was 18.2. All previous hemoglobin reading were in the 15 to 16 range with the exception of the last prior to today at 17.Is this concern? What would have caused this elevation in my hemoglobin level?
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have hemochromatosis. It lead to iron overload. And increased hemoglobin level.  You should go for repeated phlebotomy.  Iron cheating agents like desferoximine or defiperone may be helpful.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
