My mother age is 65 yrs.her hb count is 6.1. i transfused one unit of blood before 15 days, but again hb count is 6.1. pls suggest reason&remedy...?

Depends: Anemia is caused by one of two things: either impaired production, which is a bone marrow problem, or increased loss through either bleed or hemolysis. Since her HGB is so low and without appropriate response to transfusion, her anemia should have at least an initial workup as an inpatient.
