What word means a condition in which the red blood cells do not contain enough hemoglobin?
The lack of hemoglobin in the red blood cells is attributed to anemia or iron deficiency. There is no actual condition in itself of lack of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Hemoglobin times three equals hematocrit, which is the volume of packed red blood cells. A low count of either indicates anemia. This could be the result of an iron deficiency or a protein deficiency, or it could mean internal bleeding. The etiology of the low hemoglobin needs to be determined.
What does low sgot level in blood mean?
Transaminases (SGTP) & (SGOT): These are enzymes that are primarily found in the liver. Drinking too much alcohol, certain drugs, liver disease and bile duct disease can cause high levels in the blood. Hepatitis is another problem that can raise these levels. Low levels of GGTP may indicate a magnesium deficiency. Low levels of SGPT and SGOT may indicate deficiency of vitamin B6.
