Hemoglobin Concentration in Children at Different Altitudes in Peru: Proposal for [Hb] Correction for Altitude to Diagnose Anemia and Polycythemia

The present study was designed to define the hemoglobin [Hb] increase with altitude in Peruvian children. We suggest the normal range of [Hb] as means ±2 standard deviations (SD), with a value less than - 2 SD as a possible threshold to detect anemia. The prevalence of anemia was calculated. These v...
