A member asked:

I'm wondering what diseases cause the haemoglobin count to lower?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Long list: Low hemoglobin, anemia, may be due lack of production of red cells as in aplastic anemia, thalassemia, lack of iron, B12 and or folate; it may be due blood loss, e.g., excessive menstrual loss, bleeding in intestine; and due to excessive destruction of red cells as in spherocytosis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia and more.
