A member asked:

My mother has her hemoglobin level as 8 .what treatment should be given for her?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Find the cause: Hopefully a cause can be found and the anemia treated without transfusion being necessary. If she's short of breath from her anemia, she may need a transfusion to keep her safe. But she must insist that a cause be found.

Dr Vallury and another doctor agreed
