I had a blood test recently as I generally have low iron. The latest test has come back as follows:

haemoglobin 122
ferritin 18
haemophilia 28.7
b12 570

I don’t understand the haemophilia result in particular and when I have googled it it seems worrying? The Gp has sent a message for me to book in an appointment asap but each time I call I can’t get through. I’ve been feeling really low and emotional recently (last few weeks) and I just feel really stressed about these results. Can anyone help? I will obviously keep trying to speak to GP

I’d recommend getting the nhs app as results are posted on there and they usually have the normal parameters so you can see where you fall. You will also have the accurate names of the tests rather than trying to remember something from a phone call.

it still doesn’t help if your results are abnormal as you still need to speak to a doctor but at least you’d have accurate information which you don’t currently have

Please PLEASE don't use AI for this kind of stuff. The last paragraph is completely misleading, as you've asked it to answer a question about haemophilia. The term is highly likely to have been misheard or mis-spoken, so you're causing OP anxiety unnecessarily in expressing your post as fact.

I really don't understand why posters do this, and without acknowledging that it's AI. It's SO dangerous to answer medical questions this way.

Agree. People who do this should be banned.

I certainly think we should be encouraged to report anything AI on health/medical threads.

In fact I should do that now.

Scotland does not have a NHS app. Not sure about Wales and N Ireland. Don't assume the OP is English.

Well quite, that’s why the question was do you not have the app, rather than why not look at the app 🙄
