Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Low hemoglobin itself is a important cause of generalized swelling.
Other possible D/D considering the low urine output,
Nephrotic Syndrome.
Nephrotic nephritic syndrome
Urinary Tract Infection.
Repeat and detailed investigation are required to reach the diagnosis.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
