A member asked:

My dad has jaundice and low hemoglobin (was a 4). got a transfusion saturday which brought the levels u?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What's the question?: I'm sorry dad is sick. He may have a hemolytic anemia that is causing his jaundice, or he may have liver disease and bleeding due to this or some other cause. I hope that a treatable cause is found, and if there are other questions that you have, please write us.
