Does that mean she is perhaps anemic or just out of shape? Her hemoglobin is 15.1. She is a former national-class steepler/marathoner getting back into shape at 20-30 mi/week, but these values concern me. Are women much different then men (lower) in these values?
So glad I'm not married. I'm in my mid 20's.
34.5 and 15.1? That doesn't make any sense. Are you sure it isn't 15.1 and 44.5?
"Normal results vary, but in general are as follows:
•Male: 40.7 - 50.3%
•Female: 36.1 - 44.3%"
Her hemoglobin number's good. She might be sligtly anemic or reacting to the start of getting back into shape. Nothing too serious likely. Or she has leukemia.

She can't have a good hemoglobin and be anemic. That is a contradiction in terms.
If those values are real, they would indicate a higher than normal concentration of hemoglobin per red blood cell. There are conditions that cause this, but I would question the test first. To learn more, google "mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration"
She needs some 'medicine.' It's for her health. Just don't let it get over 50.9 wink wink

exactly, this is not possible.
