MSFinals-2111

A 33-year-old woman who gave birth three weeks ago is feeling very fatigued after walking to the park and back. The birth was via a caesarean section and she needed one unit of blood transfusion. She visits her family doctor and denies experiencing any chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, or further bleeding.

During the examination, there are no indications of ongoing bleeding, and the caesarean section incision is healing properly. The blood test results are as follows:

– Hb 95 g/L Female: (115 – 160)
– Platelets 240 * 109/L (150 – 400)
– WBC 7.0 * 109/L (4.0 – 11.0)
– Ferritin 6 µg/L (15 – 300)

What is the minimum haemoglobin level for this patient to be prescribed iron supplements?
