Dad's blood test result was iron levels ok but he is still anemic, how can that be? i thought anemia was only caused by low iron levels.
I always press dad to ask questions for clarity but he is just waiting now for more tests.

Has anyone ever been told of any other reasons for anemia other than low iron levels?

Not all types of anaemia are caused by low iron levels
