Gather the number indicates quite abnormally low hemoglobin but if iron is also low this may be cause. Have a hematology consult

If the result is that her hemoglobin is 6.1 g/dL, she is severely anemic and needs to see a doctor at the earliest. If she has other symptoms like marked shortness of breath, you may consider taking her to an ER. She needs to be investigated for the cause of anemia and treated promptly. Wish your daughter and you good health!
