Can low hemoglobin with CML be treated with iron infusions?
Community Member
4 days agoHello. I have CML for 1 & 1/2 years. My weight blood cells are normal. However, my hemoglobin is low. I'm waiting on a prior authorization for an iron infusion. The original prior authorization was submitted wrong.

4 days agoIron infusions can sometimes help with low hemoglobin levels, though the underlying cause and your specific medical situation will determine the best approach for your care. Dealing with prior authorization delays can be frustrating, especially when you're ready to move forward with treatment - many community members have experienced similar insurance hurdles. Your oncology team will be able to evaluate whether iron supplementation is appropriate given your CML treatment plan and current blood work results.
