Hi
Thanks for the query
1) Low haemoglobin is common in patients on dialysis. This needs treatment in the form of erythropoietin and iron injections under the supervision of your nephrologist. He may also transfuse blood if required
2) The cause of fever can only be determined by careful examination of the patient and review of all blood and imaging tests.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
