Is anemia 8.5g/L considered severe anemia?

Clinically, hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin content are generally used to determine whether it is anemia and the type of anemia.

1. Mild: When the patient has mild anemia, the hemoglobin concentration is between 90-120g/L, and the patient's clinical symptoms are relatively mild, which can be manifested as fatigue, dizziness and other symptoms;

Severe: When the patient has severe anemia, the hemoglobin concentration is less than 60g/L, and the clinical symptoms of the patient are the most obvious, such as shortness of breath, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting after activity, and will be accompanied by chest tightness, dyspnea, etc.;

4. Very severe: When the patient has extremely severe anemia, the hemoglobin concentration is less than 30g/L, at this time the patient is already in a coma, and the vital signs are unstable, and there may be danger at any time.
