We get transfussions when we think we need them even if there not at the threshold level, I think some doctors are scared of iron overload or giving to much blood to soon, but even as everybody reacts different to different meds, everybody feels different at different levels, if the national standard is Hemo 8 and Hema 24%, before transfussion, someone else could be higher.
