My mom is 44, a blood test shows her hemoglobin at 10.9. she is seeing the md again for further testing. can this be something serious?

Many possible causes: The initial approach to the patient with anemia is to perform a complete history and physical examination along with a review of the results of a complete blood count (CBC) with white blood cell differential, platelet count, reticulocyte count, and an examination of the peripheral blood smear.
