What Causes Decreased Hemoglobin Levels?
My hemoglobin has dropped to 7.8 and the doctors have not found out where the blood is coming from or where it s going. They do know that my stool sample is negative for blood. What could be causing this? I am on iron pills and had a iron infusion when in the hospital recently with a kidney infection.

Hi there
I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that when kidney is diseased then it doesn't produce Erytheropoitin and as a result bone marrow doesn't produce enough red blood cells and result into anemia.
Kindly get your proper kidney work-up done and consult with a Nephrologist. Consultation with a hematologist is also Recommended for further management.
Hope this has answered your query.
Kind Regards
