What Causes Low Hemoglobin Levels In Blood?
my mother in law is 81 and she has low heamoglobin and has had many tests done including numerous blood test over last 2 months and they do not seem to be improving. she has spent the last week in hospital having ct scans, chest xrays ect. she has been feeling tired for the last four months where she will nap twice a day for two hours each time. she has had bone marrow test and they are fine.
She had a blood test today and after the results they phone her and said that she must have a bone test tomorrow. is this good new or not good news? what are they checking for and what are the possibilites?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She may have some anemia or some other disease. Without report s its very difficult to say whether she required bone marrow examination or not. And no need to go for repeat bone marrow test if first test is normal. Please send me all reports so I can help you further.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
