Yes, you can take a single lab draw. Additionally take iron supplements if your hemoglobin levels are 5.6. However, consider investigating why your levels are low with a blood test.

What is a hematocrit?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had a blood test one month ago, which showed hemoglobin 17 g/dL and PCV 52 percent. Today, after full hydration, my blood test shows hemoglobin 15.7 g/dL and HCT/PCV 44.1 percent. Is this normal, or could it indicate polycythemia?
