What is the minimum level of hemoglobin in women?

Answer 1

Yes a healthy woman, non pregnant should have a hemoglobin level of between 12.1 and I believe 15.1, at 11.2 you/in theory are/would be borderline anemic.

A woman that is pregnant is expected to have a hemoglobin level of around 11.0 and upwards.

Some doctors will prescribe iron tablets etc for an 11.2 hemoglobin level, if in doubt please contact your doctor and see what they think is best.

Answer 2

No it is good.

It isn't good enought to give blood though, but on average and in normal daily life 11.4 is good. I aways feel great on 12-13 as far as health and energy go.

What are normal hemoglobin values?The hemoglobin level is expressed as the amount of hemoglobin in grams (gm) per deciliter (dl) of whole blood, a deciliter being 100 milliliters.

The normal ranges for hemoglobin depend on the age and, beginning in adolescence, the gender of the person. The normal ranges are:

• Newborns: 17-22 gm/dl
• One (1) week of age: 15-20 gm/dl
• One (1) month of age: 11-15gm/dl
• Children: 11-13 gm/dl
• Adult males: 14-18 gm/dl
• Adult women: 12-16 gm/dl
• Men after middle age: 12.4-14.9 gm/dl
