[|Human|] I am a male aged 58 and my GP has just informed me that my red blood cell count is 119, which he said is low, when is should be 140. We did not have time to discuss the implications of this, but I have just got better from a urinary water infection. Could this recent infection be the possible cause?
[|AI|]  If your red blood count results are below the standard range, it may be due to: Anemia Bone marrow failure Cancer Leukemia Multiple myeloma (cancer of plasma cells) An erythropoietin deficiency Excessive bleeding Hemolysis (red blood cell destruction) due to transfusions Blood vessel injury Malnutrition Nutritional deficiencies: iron, copper, folate, vitamins B6 and B12 Medications: chemotherapy Chat Doctor.
