Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi sir my name is vinod, i have taken blood test of my mother recently her hemoglobin levels are very low i.e, 6.0 gms/dl rest all count is in normal range her age is 45 , what should i do now to improve the levels of hemoglobin and what are the consequences of it .
Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the HCM. Anemia has many types. According to the morphology of the red cells in the blood they are classified. Depending on the classification and a detailed history the treatment of anaemia is initiated. Anaemia may occur due to blood loss (acute or chronic), nutritional deficiency, chronic diseases e.g. renal or liver disease, inappropriate synthesis due to bone marrow abnormality, premature killing of the blood cells by phagocytic cells, heavy metal poisoning, infection, congenital problems and many others. But, for such low haemoglobin level, in patient management after hospitalization should be done. Blood transfusion may also be necessary. Immediate intervention is needed to prevent development of arrhythmia and heart failure. This condition should considered as an emergency and you should urgently visit the hematology OPD or ER of your local hospital for further evaluation and treatment to SAVE the LIFE of your mother. For any further query please write back. Regards. Dr. Kaushik
